I have arthritis in my spine with muscle spasms. I find that flexeril 5 mg (prescription) helps and also Voltaren
Gel and then a Bed Buddy heat pack (Amazon). Quercitin also helps me. This is a supplement for inflammation.
I take Tylenol for pain as I cannot tolerate any of the NSAIDS (Motrin, Advil, Aleve).
Soaking in Epsom Salt can help as well if you are able to get into a tub.

Similar conditions. Currently using Pain Management Doctor, trigger point injections did help with the muscle spasms but over time results vary, pain in the thorastic and lower part of the back , also use back patches with Lidocaine. Temporary relief with patches. Seems like there are lots of temporay relief. Also exercise. Will try the Voltaren and the Flexeril. What type of medical specialist has worked best ?
For arthritis and other problems with the lower back - scoliosis, stenosis, listhesis, disc degeneration, the presence of arthritic spurs - A strong set of core muscles helps immensely. I'm 70 y/o and my spine surgeon told me that my stone core was literally holding my lumbar spine together. (And I have each of the conditions listed above.)
If you're interested in this, check with your Dr first and see if there is a PT he can recommend, so your insurance might cover it. It may take time, but it beats having to take pain medication.

HeyJoe,
How many days a week do you do your core exercises? I joined Club Pilates (it’s a chain business
That teaches Pilates Reformer), along with weight trainer twice a week with a trainer.
I have all that you do, too, and REALLY want to avoid any type of surgery, even a nerve decompression.
