What exactly is wrong with your back? I too went to pain management for my back, until it no longer worked (meds, shots). I had surgery on the right side of my spine, and that helped. I was all set to get the same surgery on the left side of my spine, but because I'm now on blood thinners for blood clots in my lungs, all surgeries are postponed for this year.

And you say you can live with it? I sure couldn't. I can't stand for long periods or walk more than a hundred yards without the pain becoming almost unbearable. The only way I get relief is by sitting down or laying down. I can't wait to have surgery so I might be able to somewhat return to normal.

Have been for the past 2 years, out of 1-10, it’s a 5 all the time, goes up to about a 9 if I overdo things, mostly just bothers me when I am on walking on concrete, I can sleep usually with no issues, when I had that surgery 2 years ago, I only took 2 Tylenol at the hospital, I can really tolerate pain
 
I picked up a new saw for a project I have coming up. The sad thing is, I won't be the one using it. My son and daughter will, cutting up plywood to floor the attic space above my garage and carport. Because of my back, I'll just be supervising. I prefer worm drive circular saws. Hope my kids do too! lol

I to have back issues. Went to see some quack in El Paso Tx and never went back again. Doctor was so rude and condescending. I do have a very high tolerance to pain and for the most part if I am careful I can tolerate. Right now my sciatic nerve on the left side has been bothering me for a week. Hoping it will settle down some. I do not take any pain medication because one I am on the blood thinner xarelto and two, I don't like the feeling this pain meds give me. I guess I have just adjusted to it but somedays can be trying. Being on blood thinners are also a pain. Any time you need to get something done I have to come off of them for a few days before procedure.
