I forgot to mention that I have had back pain since I was 18 and I am 32 now. The problems in the past would be bad back spasmas (can not move much for 2-3 days) 3-4 times a year. In 2009 the pain got so bad in my legs (pain everyday), started meds, and now meds are no longer working and pain is increasing. It has gotten so bad that I am withdrawing from nursing school because I can not bare the pain during clinicals even with meds (tramadol and limbitrol).
