Yes. The type of debilitating pain that I am referring to is only in my back. It is the upper half and radiates outward from my spine and through the muscles. It is probably work noting that I regularly lose 2-2.5 inches (5-6.5cm) in height daily. My wife will step on my back and I'll gain the height back and, if it hasn't been too long with the pain at maximum, it'll relieve the pressure as well and the pain will subside. I do not have a B-12 deficiency - or any other (referring to D as you pointed out below). My lab work came back today testing for just that.

It is easy to identify when it happens because it is every day, all day. Better in the morning and worse at night which I have always assumed was because I was not fighting gravity all night.
If any of that didn't make sense...I'm really in the middle of it at the moment and the pain is winning.
