I am sorry to hear about 's back pain, I know what he is going through.

My back pain started about 3 years ago. I also had pains in my heels and my thighs and upper butt area. I really noticed it in the morning when I got up and walked to the bathroom...my heels really hurt.

Once I got the bone scan and X-Rays, they found I had Degenerative Disc Disease in the lower lumbar. The number 5 lumbar disc was just about gone and the nerves were being pinched. I got one of those hang upside down machines and it really helped my pain manegement. Now I am getting acupuncture. It is still a little too early to tell if it is helping, but the pain hasn't been so bad.
