With your pain being associated with some physical damage here are a few things that have helped me with chronic and at times debilitating back pain.

1. Chiropractic care

2. Routine massages

3. Core strengthening

4. Ice (15m on / 15m off) (my ice pack is large but covers about 25% of my back so. I start low or high and work my way the other direction, takes 45-60m total then usually benefits from refreezing ice pack)

👆by far ice is the #1 thing that help acute pain and the chronic

5. Cbd topical, I use Papa and Barkley products

6. CBD oral tincture (if it’s really bad pain and/or spasming)

Thank you.

I'm definitely doing 2 and 3 on a regular basis.

I'm hoping this is just a short-term flare up. I've had quite a lot of stress the last couple of months especially, and sometimes just sitting or standing awkwardly for a length of time can trigger it.

My overall health trend is up over the long term.

I saw a family photo from a couple of years ago, and I was still walking with a stick. It's good to be reminded of how much progress I have made, even if it's taking years.

I can relate.

My sister’s wedding photo I have a cane.

Long story short I was diagnosed ( it have since been healed praise God!) from ankylosing spondylitis (basically a natural fusing of the spine and hips).

Pay attention to #3 ice! Honestly that helps all my flare ups more than anything. It’s not a 100% solution 100% of the time… but it is certainly is asymmetry to the up side compared to just other forms of relief
