I’m sorry if you’ve repeated this a lot, but I don’t recall — do you know why your back hurts so bad?
I had back issues due to damage from growing up a gymnast. It got really bad in my mid 20s, and I finally couldn’t take it any more and had lumbar fusion surgery. Recovery was difficult and I still have minor lower back pain here and there, but none of it is anything like that constant day to day pain that was impossible to medicate away pre-surgery. IDK that I have anything helpful to add, but I wanted you to know that I GET IT, and I’m really sorry you are dealing with this pain.
