Me again, 3 bulging discs, ive been doing ok, managing to work, the sciatica has settled, but now every morning im waking up in agony with lower back muscles spasms, I cant sit down while its happening, ive just been standing for 40 minutes until it settles, they happen at a lower level throughout the day. Has anyone got experience in how to settle this, I need to get back to work. I cant take pain meds. Ive booked in to have electro acupuncture, any experience with this also? Im getting desperate.

I have to have monthly physio to keep my muscles relaxed . I changed my mattress and walk a lot . Keep weight down . I cannot take painkillers as I’ve taken so many I’ve not got a hernia . The pain is indescribable when my back spasms but the above has kept them longer between episodes .
