I have to agree with that because when i used to go to the gym and do yoga regularly my back didn't hurt me...it was only after my first pregnancy tht I got lazy and it came back in full force. My orthopedic doc said i need physical therapy 2-3 per wk (which is expensive since my ins doesn't cover it) and I'm already numb in my right toe so there is some nerve damage...but while I know pills are merely a bandage to this whole thing i need something to help with the pain.
