Hello. I've had chronic back pain for 46 years. I was told in 1983 that I required back surgery to have two titanium rods wired to my spine with a 50/50 chance of walking after the operation. I told the GP/Chiropractor that I was walking NOW thankyou very much. He said if I didn't get something done I'd be in a wheelchair by 2006. I'm not in a wheel chair and still walking. I never took pain killers either. My experience is that there are many non evasive treatments for back pain, but there is not anything that eliminates the pain 100% forever. Pain Management has worked for me, but that requires individual diligence moment by moment, day by day managing stress, stretching, light physical exercise, diet, rest, etc. Non evasive treatments can reduce the intensity of the pain, but a one time shot for elimination of pain forever, I doubt it. Not knowing the cause of your husbands back pain I could be wrong, but I always look at these things with cautious optimism. The biggest negative besides the chronic pain are the psychological side affects of long term chronic pain which are attributed to the fight or flight syndrome which in turn can cause anxiety, depression and paranoia. I don't take meds for this either. I self monitor my thoughts, feelings and ideas, and practice counter relaxation techniques like deep breathing and positive self talk to not attach myself to negative emotions that are likely a result of the pain. Essentially, it's all up to me to be self aware, mindful, and in the moment as much as possible. I'm doing a lot better than 40 years ago, but to say life is not still a daily struggle would be disingenuous. I wish your husband relief, but be informed as much as possible.
