A member asked:
Why do the back specialists that i go to always say things like "your back and neck are really messed up" but can't offer me any options?

May not have many: Its hard to comment without knowing what they are seeing, but there may not be a good option. Generally, back and neck pain is managed with medications such as anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers, physical therapy, injections, or surgery if it is severe enough and a good candidate.
