Just since this past weekend I have had severe pain in lower side and lower back. I was told by the Dr b I have arthritis al l through my back. Anyone going through this?

Yup, I've had 2 spinal fusion surgeries in my neck, C5-C6 and C7-T1, and 5 knee operations, with very little pain reduction. I also have spinal stenosis in my lower back, along with osteoarthritis in my back, knees, and hips. I haven't had a pain free day in the past 12-15 years, and had to quit my job and go on permanent disability in July of '15.
