Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.
I’m feeling much better today – just a twinge here and there.
I use a TENS unit for mine – interrupts the pain messages to the brain.

You’ve got my empathy, PG — I really do know how it feels.
I’ve felt your pain.
My mother gets back pain with some regularity and a heated bad helps.
