Sorry, to hear about the back problems. I too, have had many back problems. I have also had seven back surgeries. Nothing relieves me completely. I have even had a spinal stimulator placed in my back and had it taken back out after 1 year. The best thing you can do is find out what is causing the problem. My guess is, it is probably a disc. A orthro surgeon or Neuro doctor is the best to check this out.
The pain can be very bad at times. Sometimes PT can help when a MRI is done. Some people do get relief from pain pills. I do use Narcotics when necessory. Good Luck! We do have a thread on Spinal Problems on here. Check it out.
