Agreed. I get low back pain from time to time due to other health issues, and the pain completely shuts me down. And yes, I will admit to 'self-medicating'- taking a vicodin for the back pain when it was prescribed for something else. I've done the same thing but pain killers do not really do much for me
The problem with lower back is one it goes out you just can’t move with out screaming in agony.
I has to call an ambulance once because I could not move because of the pain... they had to lift me up and carry me out strapped to a back board
Ouch! Mine hasn't been that bad. And painkillers basically knock me out so I forget about the pain.
