Hi Pattie and welcome to NeuroTalk!
I'm sorry to hear of your problems with your back. Lots of the members here have spinal and back issues so you've definitely found the right place!! I've posted the link to the Spinal Disorders and Back Pain Forum for you in case you haven't already found your way over there. Please feel free to join in anywhere, though. All forums are open to everyone.
