17. Wow. Been there, done that. Once things start to heal, he needs to 'get thee to a good physiotherapist,' and strengthen the musculature in his spine. His whole upper body looks atrophied, and his neck looks to be pushed forward and stooped in this pic, and walking around like that causes more (the cycle of) pain. The therapist will teach/help you to strengthen your upper body until you can easily hold yourself posturally erect again, and that will lesson the pain monumentally over time. I enjoy going to the gym now and doing the resistance training; almost pain free, and I was a mess like Jeff here. Best wishes, Jeff. Build yourself back up; it's never too late to regain quality of life; so much will flow from it with time. You can work through it and be fitter than you were in your twenties, with good professional guidance. Took me 3 to 5 years total. (older.)

18. He looks much better than on the Rehab show. Keep strong Jeff. Pain is a bitch, I live with someone with cronic pain, it really sucks. I can see how you get hooked on pills.

22. This poor pitiful bastard. I think he needs to look into back surgery in some other country. It seems that docs in this country aren't that good at back surgery. It seems like everyone I know that has had their backs operated on are still in pain.

23. he looks better and sounds better than i've seen in awhile.....and he seems like a pretty decent nice guy. on the show "celeb rehab" he is so wasted....but his nice guy persona is there under his distress....

24. He is a talented actor, it's a shame he's in constant pain.

25. I loved Jeff Conaway on Babylon 5 - didn't know he had sunk to the lows of "Celebrity Rehab" since then. I wish him all the best.

Good Luck, Jeff!

27. You go Jeff! I have been watching the show and praying for you. You are a very talented actor, stay strong and we can't wait to see what great things are yet to come for yuo. Your fans support your struggle and want you to stay well

28. The more you rehabilitate your spine and upper body, the less the pain is. The less the pain is, the more you feel able to do. (vacuuming, gardening, raking, chores.) The more you do, the stronger you get, and the less the pain is. You do this long enough, and you will stabilize at the new place, and voila, pain cycle almost completely gone, pretty much for good, except for periods of renewed resistance training when you've gotten lazy.

29. He's faking it.

30. He certainly does look and sound better. What a nightmare childhood this poor guy had. Too bad he didn't get good help sooner. I agree with the others about the girlfriend - very suspicious of her intentions. Hopefully we are all wrong and she is sincere in her caring for him. Ok, I'm a dreamer! Best of luck to the guy!
