Back pain. Do you have it?

Yes- spinal stenosis. I'm sure if I dropped some lbs, that would help, but weight is not really the cause. I think that I was too gung-ho as a youngster with those now condemned iron boot leg lifts. Indeed, I, too, have heard that surgery is 33% effective. 33% improve, 33% no change, 30% worse. Not good odds!

Yep, After a broken neck and fractured spine in 1995, A fracture which is still there, I live with pretty bad back pain every day.
I ignore it as best I can and just tough it out.
I will not take Rx pain killers!
