My heart goes out to you, and I wish I truly had something concrete to offer…I have had back pain for over 20 years, and tried many things, though I have avoided opioids and steroids—and surgery…best I can do is ‘managing’ my back issue ..i hope that some breakthroughs come along for you, sooner than later !!

@nycmusic I have written before about Spinal Cord Stimulators. I have two (simple surgery-out patient) in my back. One delivers relief to my hand and shoulder, one to my back and knee. Back surgeries, knee replacement, and reverse shoulder replacement x2, broken wrist leading to RSD (CRPS). I am very familiar with pain since I was a teenager-I am now 84.
The ONLY relief I have is the implants of Spinal Cord Stimulators. I am not pain free, have not and won’t be, but the degree of relief I have, though not constant, does not require prescription medication. Check it out online and talk to your physician about the possibility for your use.
I have the Boston Scientific stimulators and swear by them. I wish you more good days than bad.
