I'm real sorry to hear you have it too. It hurts. I knew you had a back problem but didn't know what it was. Yeah, denial ain't just a river in Egypt. I tried to deny it for a long time too, mainly cause it's largely incurable. I just vape, for that THC. But I've found a joint once in a while gives you more "couch lock" and when it's real bad that's what you want. I really hope you feel better. You've proven time and again you're a nice person.
