I feel your pain alundil. I tore my body to shit over the years and if you haven't tried it find a good chiroprator. I avoided them for years just like many but i finally took the chance because i jacked my back up to the point i couldn't even stand up. I literially had to crawl to my truck in the parking lot at the job site i was at. After 2 days of that shit i finally went in. He did his thing and i left walking. In pain but walking.
