Are you sure it's your spine that's the issue?! Not internal ? Make sure you get things checked out because meds aren't the best answer. And maybe you can try Chiropractic medicine. It's helped my back.
Im doing ok. Im still dealing with this back pain. Dr wants me to try Lyrica for a few weeks to see if that helps the pain but im having to slowly stop taking Gabapentin 1st. Ugg 2 more days with 300mg of Gabapentin then i get to start 25mg of Lyrica for a week then start taking 25mg 2 times a day
after 20+ yrs of back pain, lots of pain mgnt treatments, moist heat, I finally ad extensive back surgery and I feel great. I needed to jump thru all the hoops b4 I got the help I needed. Start with xrays, mri, cat scan etc and good luck.((soft ugs))
Tiger Balm does help when i put it on before bed and i dont wake up until morning
