I've had back trouble for years, and now ALS at age 66. I was wondering if any other PALS have similar problems with their spine (particularly lumbar spine),
and how you cope with it all. I will absolutely not have back surgery!!!
 
I've had back issues since 2016. Now it has turned into knee and foot issues, along with a couple of old sports and accident injuries. Massage helps as long as you get someone good. Also using the correct shoes (I recently switched from Brooks to Hoka.) Keeping good posture, as best you can will also help.

My neuro prescribed Valium to relax my muscles and also CBD/THC. I have some Oxy if the pain gets too bad.

The heated pool is the best thing I've done for pain.
