Hey VL! So sorry for all the pain your DH is experiencing in his back. I too, suffer from back/spine pain. I also have Osteoporosis and a hemangioma on my spine. Sometimes the pain just literally takes my breath away. My problem is that I cannot take any anti inflammatories due to having only one kidney.

Ok, my minor rant is over. I just want to say that I commiserate w/your DH, as my back pain excelerates after periods of sitting or lying on my back in bed. Keep us posted, as I do hope he gets some relief soon.

Oh, I do have Tramadol, which literally does nothing for the pain. I also have Darvocet, but hesitate to take it, as it give me uncomfortable side effects.

take care VL.
