Spinal pain

My spinal pain hurts so bad to the point I can’t sleep and I just cry I try cracking my back seeing if that’ll work but it didn’t. What ways can I lessen this pain

I get excruciating spinal and pelvic pain at times, like today in fact. Taking painkillers helps or if you feel like you're having a heavy flare, then taking prednisolone steroid helps speed up the recovery. 💊 For non-medicinal treatment, daily physiotherapy exercises helps. I like to go to weekly Bowen Therapy too. 💆🏻‍♂️

I’ve used Aspercreme (a lidocaine gel) for my spinal pain before and it worked wonders. It may not help you, but it’s cheap and worth a shot. I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. Also call your neurologist and let them know. They may be able to prescribe meds or something.
