I suffer from chronic back pain which can occur in any region of the back
I also suffer from chronic pain along my shoulder and spine. Do you find any relief?
I use pain management such as pain medicine to ease the suffering and improve quality of life. 
I find heat and ice work well. I also use epson salt to soak in. I get massage quite regularly. I hate pain medication as it tears up my stomach and makes me ill most times i take it.
I understand that, as pain is already such a distressing feeling. What else would you recommend?
