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.
Neither options will solve the problem though
Solve is kind of a strange word to use, because it certainly CAN solve it. For instance, relieving compressed nerves for sciatica for example, something I have treated on and off in my life, chiro has helped me with this more than ANYTHING else I’ve tried.
