Walking is one of the best things you can do in short stints. Also, if you can, go and see a physiotherapist and see if they can sort you out with some exercises to ease the pain. In short, DON'T sit here another minute. Even if all you do is stand up, stretch, take a walk up your road and come back again, do SOMETHING. You'll feel better.

I have three discs that are shot, and arthritis in most of my spine. As I stated, most days the pain is tolerable, but fairly recently if I move in the wrong manner, I have extreme pain, cannot straighten up and can barely walk. I cannot sit for long periods of time or stand for long periods of time. I even use the keyboard while standing. I have a seat that fits in my desk chair, that massages my back, neck, and thighs, (at variable speeds) it also heats if I so choose, which I usually do. I have had a back problem for about ten years now (began in my early thirties), and I have been to multiple doctors, but nothing can really be done. Thanks for your concern and input, as your advice is sound. I don't know what these Ultram pills are but, I do know they don't work in the prescribed dosages.
