@tbaxter33 I just saw your post your not a complainer When anyone has back issues it's a problem we have to learn to live with there are lots of things you can try see if any fit your situation .I've had fibromyalgia for 30 yrs ,have a ,L2 fracture loads of o.a.in spine neck down but have found exercise the best for it ,yes it hurts to get started but the more you do it the stronger your muscles get ,water aerobics are the best,they are easier on you.I have bone spurs around hips so walking is tough I've tried with pain but mustered through.Tramadol does help me except when a fibro flare starts ,Heating pad helps heal,ice is good for inflammation in joints.Some people get relieve from Volteran cream it's for arthritis I think. My chiropractor uses a TENS unit before he works On my back .Don't give up ,this is a good group you came to ,we share information some will help ,some won't depends on your own body.Find another Dr.if your isn't helping and complain all you want here we are all in the same ⛵ Take care hope you find relief.
