Back pain is a tough nut primarily because it varies so much from person to person. Depending on the anatomy of the injury and the post-injury healing the symptoms and severity can change drastically.

Sometimes the best prescription is time. Sometimes you need surgery to save yourself from paralysis. Sometimes surgery puts you in worse pain, sometimes it fixes you for the rest of your life. It's frustrating, and each patient needs to become their own best advocate.
