This happens because the inflamations causes pressure directly on my spinal cord. The result, when it isn't numbness, is pain.
I can't tolerate any pharmaceutical painkillers, so without acupuncture I'm longing for my good buddy scotch. NOT hooking up, but so horny ...

Good, strong, positive, sober thoughts please.

roadie , thanks for sharing what's going on. i believe you go to AA? if so it will help for you to talk about this/pain/scotch. you'll get loving support there.
as for you medical situation have you considered meeting with a neurologist? i had the very same thing including numbness. had i not gotten surgery the damage could've been far worse. i hope you'll consider this option. my life physically is free of the all symptoms and the correction allows spinal fluid flow. vertebrae out of whack and a spinal cord/fluid being cut off can lead to major pain, muscle tone loss and paralysis.
here's a link re this. don't let it scare you. the prooceure was painless and recovery time was about 3 weeks at home.
