Low back pain 8yrs . no relief to my wife.?

Several ways to deal: For most, it begins with what the back symptoms mean &then usually changes in lifestyle like exercise, weight control, smoking cessation and improved sleeping habits as well as avoiding becoming depressed which can magnify pain symptoms. She needs to get vit d level checked &make sure no thyroid issues both of which are not uncommon and can play a role in this pain pattern. Start with her pcp.

Several options: Chronic back pain is usually related to degenerative changes to the joints or discs in the spine. Unfortunately there are no "quick fix" options. Long term relief often requires a multidisciplinary approach including proper medication, therapy, chiropractics, exercise, diet, biofeedback, and education.
