My mother has the same thing AND scoliosis so she's turning into the hunchback of Notre Dame

Nah but seriously it sucks and even though my parents can go to hell as far as I'm concerned, I still wouldn't wish that upon anybody.
I have my fair share of back issues, as well. All I can say is I am thankful for suboxone. It's used mostly for recovery treatment but it's actually a very effective analgesic. I got tired of going to pain management clinic having them give me tons of opiates making me high af and completely dysfunctional and still in pain. Suboxone takes away 90% of the pain with 0% of the "high" so I can still function.
