Sorry to hear your hurtin Tim,,,, I know how much pain it can cause,,,, I've been dealing with a bad back for many years. I'm sure you know exactly what to do to relieve your pain but I'll just throw this out there....... ICE !!
When I get a really bad recurrence the only thing that keeps the pain bearable is an ice bag.
Anyway,,,hope you are back on your feet soon buddy....
