I'm very careful with tr@m$. I only use them occasionally, when my back tells me to. Since I recently retired from a physically demanding job, my back keeps flaring up. I also had back surgery about 10 yrs ago. I think the decreased activity (couch potato) since my retirement has been the main reason.
Ice, heat and and strengthening my core is what I'm doing now. Buying a ultrasound setup, since they're much cheaper now, is in the works as well. There is a great thread on alternative meds that are much safer. I'm doing my homework on these alternatives now.
I know my situation is nothing compared to some members who suffer to a much greater degree. Stay safe my friends.
