Spine issues are the single thing that pish me to ibuprofen or naproxen over acetaminophen. The latter does nothing for my issues.

yeah, its the inflammation going down that reliefs the nerve.

Took me 3 months, out of 2 i wasn't able to sit. Luckily I could walk and that give me great relief. So walked for hours.

Keeping the habit, will mostly being coding from my phone & walking from now on.

Really nice you found a workaround. I am constantly trying different ways to alleviate my pain without drugs.
Anecdotally: ibuprofen, methylprednisolone, epidural lumbar steroid injection all did little to nothing for my herniated disc nerve pain.

Acetaminophen worked wonders, even better than an opioid.
