Try the ZT lido patches they work great if insurance will not cover Get some lidocaine cream it works good too Ice is another that works,
We have to try to use all the tools in our tool box to avoid surgery as long as you can
Backs are no guarantee
Good Luck Hope you feel better soon
It’s a battle but we have to move Walking helps me greatly, east in joints and great fir back start slow
Move up as soon as you handle the 1st distance you set that does not cause too much pain
Use cream for soreness
