I have tried chiropractic. Didn't do much at all. Those injections work.
I really should just go get one.

I can see where that would accomplish the same thing without having all your
blood go to your head.
A physical therapist or even a chiropractor might have something. Although
I'm leery of chiropractors wanting to sell you "adjustments", i.e. back and
neck cracking. Yeah, you'll either feel better or be paralyzed for life.

I've tried that too but you can only suspend yourself for so long. One of
our employees has a traction table at an office and says it helps.

Muscle spasm, or something else? I used to get those years ago, any
pills they wanted to give me were useless. Activity seemed to help,
rest made it worse, I almost wonder if one of those gizmos that
suspend you upside down hanging from your feet would help. When I
would get them, putting my weight on my arms like a gymnast on the
parallel bars would temporarily relieve the pain, but of course you can't
do that forever.
If it's not a muscle problem but possibly something more serious like
spine or disc or pinched nerve, I wouldn't fool around, I'd get a
doctor to look at it. And a different doctor if necessary. One thing
I have learned is that an MRI is way better than a CT scan.

A TENS unit helps me. I'm not sure if it's making the pain go away or
if I'm just distracted from it by being electrocuted.

Once or twice a year, I sit down wrong, or sneeze or just reach for

being able to walk, yelling in pain to just roll over in bed.
Some years I take an IM torodol injection (or whatever its generic is
called nowadays). Or I just take huge does of Tylenol and Motrin. I
have tried the ice packs, hot baths, elastic belts etc. Nothing but
massive doses of NSAIDs seem to work and they take time.
Have not had an MRI but the interwebs seem to think this is a very
common thing and that I am doing what most do.
Not sure if they sell MJ out in Wendover Nevada yet, but I am only 99
miles away. At least today I can walk.
Anyone have any secret therapy's for this?
