Went to the Spine Specialist Tuesday. He told me I have arthritis in the lower eight vertebra and that my discs are compressing some due to abuse and age, and its pinching my nerves. Supposed to start physical therapy and get a shot in my lower back. He prescribed something to calm down the arthritis and reduce the swelling. I guess the term, hard work is good for you, has its limitations! Hope it helps.
