Got lower back and leg chronic pain for 10 years. Had 2 back surgeries, plus all the rest, on no meds, but nothing works. Very active senior that continues to mt. bike, swim, lift weighs, etc, while ignoring the pain. Started meditation 6 months ago, but no improvement. Trying to get into Mayo's 3-week pain rehab program.
