@tyyne21wigwam Back problems are tough ones.
NSAIDS have their "dark side" as well. I've said to my PRP that I'd rather take one Vicodin, maybe two, instead of six Advils or whatever number of Tylenols to deal with pain.
PT is good but it's not a magic bullet.
Great you don't give up!
How is the meditation working?
I don't know about Nalu or the stim devices for backs, but see if they give you a trial period to see if it works. If you feel it's not enough time, say so.
I had a Curonix put in over my not great knee replacement a few months ago and it's worked very well.
The trial and permanent implant post op were painful (for me) though. This isn't always the case.
