- Doc. said that as we age, our back "stiffens" and at some point, he expects this pain to go away. Any of you old farts go through this, and then have the pain just disappear?
Harry I thought you were the old fart! and yes I have an answer to your question. Just shut up quit whining and be a MAN! Actually I was told this very same thing a time or two. Bro I was just kidding you but all kidding aside a bad back is one of the reasons I got on disability! I feel for you and I also do not like meds as that can start you down the wrong road period! Try rubbing so topical stuffs on such as "blue stuff" or a number of others. I learned that alieve was not conducive to lower bp so my Dr took me off and put me on some better stuff (meloxicam) which is a low risk and inexpensive way for me. I pray you can rather find and answer speedily too as its not fun to be in pain and nothing can be done about it.
