I saw a show on TV last weekend about back pain. Since I deal with it myself, I watched it. It was very interesting. Lots of different theories. Doctors don't still fully understand what causes the pain 100% yet. They said they looked at a lot of cat scans and X-rays and some of them were really bad with bulging discs, etc., yet the patient had no back pain. Others had rather minor problems with discs, yet were in severe pain.

There is also what they call back pain bootcamp that uses exercise for pain relief. I've been at the point I couldn't stand up or roll over in bed, and couldn't hardly stand to shower, so I don't know about the exercise thing. But it seemed to help some of those people.

I hurt a lot, but can still hold down a job. I hope the worse is behind me and hope you guys get some relief soon. Until someone has had severe back pain, they have no idea what it is like.
