Hi, I'm glad to find this group. I suffer from chronic pain in my back and neck. I have stenosis, degenerative disc disease and severe arthritis all down my spine. I had 2 back surgeries one fusion which left me worse off so I don't want to get a neck fusion. I take pain meds on a daily basis.

Welcome to Connect @suelle50, thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself. Have you heard of or tried Active Release Technique (ART)? I'm tagging one of our Volunteer Mentors Gail @gailb who has discussed ART in a post to see if she can offer some suggestions.
