Pain is a debilitating condition. If ignored the pain takes on a life of its own, pain sucks the energy out of you. Pain can lower your immune system and cause more problems.
Hyperalgesia is pain from inflamed tissue. Have you tried z-joint blocks?
How about activity? When you are more active it is ok for while then knocks you flat for days.. kind of thing? Does the pain refer to other places, like into arms and legs. Does TENS, heat and watermassage help?
Have you had specialized training from a physical therapist? He can show you how to stretch and strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine. Has anyone mentioned fusion?
