@jmcamden9687 My back is in the same boat I have a lot of issues but the P.T. gave me back exercises to do one is just stretching to release the disc space between the vertebra, With 2 back fractures I have a lot of P.T. Talk to your Dr about maybe getting some. I do home P.T, when I need it as they gave me sheets to go by.

@jmcamden9687 -- If it were me, I would be asking the Dr. a lot of questions. Here's some information that may help.

@jmcamden9687, Good afternoon. I would like to welcome you to Connect also. I have a particular interest in the way folks examine and select options for medical cannabis to relieve pain. Would you feel comfortable responding with the products that your husband finds particularly effective? I will then add that information to my list of what might be beneficial for someone with similar symptoms. Thanks so much. I salute your efforts as a caregiver. It is best to have a "buddy" to help negotiate these aging issues. Take good care and be free of suffering. Chris
