The bottom line is that if you don't relieve the pain, it will become self sustaining in the form of muscle spasms. I've dealt with back damage for 55 years, as well as rheumatoid arthritis. I used to discount illnesses like this, so I guess it's ironic that I now have it. I take hand fulls of ibuprofen, tramadol, and some times, opioids (thank you VA)
The bottom line is, that you have to be judicious, but you shouldn't try to tough it it out when it affects your quality of life.
