Anyone here deal with back pain???

Pilates works wonders. Strengthens the core and about every other muscle group in your body. Don't knock it if you've never tried it. Combine with yoga for 30 minutes every day and you'll feel 10 years younger after just a few months.

I have scar tissue from multiple stress fractures on my lower vertebrae and have had disc issues that all press on nerves and cause muscle imbalance. The only thing that works for me is to stretch daily and be consistent in the gym, 4-5 days a week lifting heavy to build strength. Core strength is key.

Flexeril....

Agreed with prednisone of real bad.

Use the chiro as the preventative. Once the spasm hits it's too late for them.

Get a bottle of flexeril and some hydrocodone 325's then in a few weeks start working on the core.

Exactly what I am currently using: flexeril and hydrocodone 325's when needed. Don't need any addictions though and you have to be careful about dizziness and drowsiness when operating equipment. Also exercising and getting ready to lift weight but not there yet. Fixed the problem once in same manner but stopped stretching and lifting weights problem came back at the worse time. It was a long and very painful walk back to the truck.

Lot of good information on here! My thanks to the OP.

I started using the Teeter Dex II machine and in just a few weeks, I have seen a major improvement in my back pain. It’s almost gone. It lets you decompress, but I think it’s the back extensions that have saved me. The back extensions get really deep into the lower back and glute muscles. Seems to be a game changer so far.
