Did you have any MRIs that showed actual damage? That’s the boat I’m in. I’ve tried a lot of things and nothing has worked so far. I’m happy to give another book a shot, but everything else I’ve read so far has not been applicable.

Yes, I have multiple scans of a semi-herniated (not fully herniated, but thinned and a bit bulging) disc in the lower end of my spine, but it's far from being in the state of needing surgery. My solution was (with the help of the book) to identify and treat my trigger points. Regular swimming and bodyweight exercises also helped/helps me a lot, but they help more with reducing the number of painful episodes, not making the pain go away when I have it. I can do that only with massage.

Gotcha. I’ve been slowly adding weight training to my treatment plan, I really should find a pool… thanks for the response!
