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.

I have two herniated discs in my lower back. They are pressing on a nerve in my back causing the pain. I’m calling my dr tomorrow to see what he says at this point, whether he recommends repeating the injections or goes straight to surgery. I don’t really want to repeat the injections if the pain is only going to go away for two weeks and then come back worse than before, which is what happened this time.
