I had 6 Vertebres break in an accident at the same time....two days of infusions to prevent further damage but still regarded as I broke my back. I only use Aleve in threes when I over use my back.
I’ve often wondered why the pain persists even before I get out of bed until evening...it’s just a matter of degree. Would these products mentioned make any difference I wonder? It wears on you pushing through the pain to get things done!
I learned some exercises and other things in physical therapy. Massages help too.
My poor son had a back surgery that went very wrong, and a second surgery that couldn’t repair. Then he broke his foot and has 11 plates and bolts in his foot. Has to go to a pain clinic every month to get just enough pain meds that he can do a little work.
