Do you take Tylenol for pain and is your pain muscular or due to spinal stenosis/degenerative disc disease and arthritis? Have you had a MRI of your lumbar spine? Have you ever had spinal injections for pain and to reduce inflammation?

Have you tried massage, pain patches, pain creams/roll ons, heating pads, ice, etc.?

Thanks for asking. Went for an mri about 2 years ago. Disc herniation in L4 and L5. After some therapy and cortisone injection I eventually recovered but just recently it flared up. Very frustrating. About 2 weeks ago I tried another cortisone injection and not much happened. Not a fan of taking medication. Do take supplements. Omega, turmeric, magnesium. Ice packs seem to work the best along with some lidocaine cream. It's been a few weeks now. I understand it can take weeks to heal. Thank you for asking.
