It all started from lifting heavy boxes Oct 2003. I have had lots of back issues since I was in my teens but never this long and this bad. Usually physical therapy did the trick! As for not lifting my son. I am a part-time stay at home mom and my son is only 12 months. Makes it hard not to lift him!!! I am taking vicoprofen which is has Ibuprofin in it and not tylennol. My doctor had me on regular vicoden and then 2-3 ibuprofin twice daily. I felt like that was too much and decided that combinning the two would work out better.

Do you take anything for the pain? Are you in physical therapy? How soon will you be able to get the surgery?
