I wish for a speedy recovery for you. Like several other posts have stated, I also have ongoing back problems from a car accident. I was at a dead stop and was rear ended by a car doing what was estimated to be 55 mph. It has been close to a year and I am still in pain, seeing a chiropractor three times a week, and have had every kind of injection and pain killer known to man. I feel for you bro, take care of yourself and smoke a fine stick to take your mind off it.
