Hi @donfeld, I modified the title of your discussion and added it to the Spine Health group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/) as well as the Chronic Pain group so that more people see it. I'd also like to invite @lynn12 @marychapman @irene5 @ceceilia and @pines to join the conversation.

Getting a full night's sleep is so important for health and for managing pain. Indeed it is often the pain that prevents one from getting a solid sleep. What a relief it must be to have found this relatively simple solution. You obviously must have someone to help put the gel on your spine. How often to you apply it? Do you continue with physical therapy or other therapy for your back?
