I definitely agree if it’s happening could be more than just pain. Prayers for both
Some days or hours are worse or better than others. I would reach out to mental health people too.
I have had experienced extremely bad back pain twice in the past 3 yrs, so bad we went to the Emergency Room, I did not know what was happening! Ended up being a U.T.I.
Please read my story, I have done it ALL! It took an anesthesiologist to finally dx me with DDD, degenerative disc disease with daily 24/7 pain. It took 4years and 10 months for someone to finally tell me this.
I have some spinal issues myself. Sometimes I wake up a lot in pain. I would start with pain management. Helped me alot. The pain isn't gone but not like it was. I take care of pain with medical thc when needed.
