Hi Deb, i post this often and am usually to sore and lazy to do it my self but please try two Epsom salt baths a day for your back and gentle stretching after preferably in a warm 93 degree pool of spa. it will help but stretch very gently i mean like baby stretches or it will become worse, what is mild exercise to normal people is major for us and will quickly worsen the pain, Deb i am so sorry your rsd continues to spread you have been such a trooper hanging in there, allergic to so many meds and still working. you are always in my heart and prayers. love dc
