I’m fused S1-T2, C4-5-6. I have pain every day all day. Sometimes puts me in the hospital on a pain med drip until it unclenches. I have found that exercises each specific muscle group in my back helps immensely. I have big rubber bands that I use. I also do the core (Tummy, butt, Kegel). I do them four or five times a day and use Voltaren cream. I’m surviving!

I hear you about not wanting more surgery. Do you live in a state with medical or otherwise legal marijuana? I know people who swear by it. Are you a candidate for a spinal cord stimulator or similar? I had one and it really helps. Yes, it’s invasive, but it was a day surgery. Movem3nt restrictions afterwards for quite awhile until things heal, but I had minimal discomfort. Acetaminophen took care of it. It has helped me so much, no regrets.
