I’m not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it’s still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it’s not muscle related, it’s spinal disk degeneration).
A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it’s right back to tense and painful.
Wow, great writeup.
Movement is the body’s lubrication! 100%
People have found success with avoiding all sources of external inflammation, such as the dietary pattern that shall not be named… yes it’s only anecdotal at this point, it could be something to try as a pain management strategy for a few weeks
