Upvoted for the new age comment, LOL. Seriously, sorry for the pain you are in. I deal with sever issues in my lower back and can relate--never goes away. Been to chiropractor and it seems to help a little but doesn't take the pain away. Stretching helps. Prayer helps and focusing on the things I'm grateful for. I don't use pharma so not much relief. Maybe its time for a miracle for you and me, will pray for you, pray for me. Keep encouraged!
