Will be 3 years for me in a few weeks. I’m home with 2 herniated discs in my back and am going stir crazy. Feel like I’m being tempted with all this pain, but I am staying strong.

Duuude, I’ve been dealing with the same thing but in my neck.. finally have had a bit of relief in the last two days for the first time in a month. Honestly the worst pain I’ve ever dealt with.
Mad sympathy for you brother! We got this, just keep up with your physio, try out lots of different modalities for pain relief. The things that have been working best for immediate relief have been traction therapy and rotating 5 minutes hot tub 2 minutes cold plunge and massage(gets expensive tho). Then honestly just constant continuous stretching.
Couldn’t really stand or move for a solid 2 weeks but I just had to force myself to stretch through severe pain eventually I I which I think started helping.
Obviously everyone’s case is unique and I’m sure you’ve got a fgood handle on it but just wanted to make suggestions and let you know you’re not one! I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, stay strong brother. There’s plenty of other natural and healthy outlets for the pain relief. You got this

Honestly I think around 3-4 years is a huge time for relapse. You start to think maybe I got this and forget. Time to do some online meetings if you can’t get to any and remind yourself what it’s like out there. It doesn’t get any better I guarantee you.
