I didn’t think much of it when I got spinal anesthesia for a routine procedure last year. Honestly, I was more anxious about the surgery itself than the injection in my back. But a few days later, that nagging ache in my lower spine caught my attention—and it didn’t go away. If you’re here, chances…
For years, I thought all lower back pain was basically the same—just a dull ache that flares up if you sit too long or sleep weird. But when sharp pain started radiating from the very bottom of my spine after long drives or even a sneeze, I realized something wasn’t adding up. It turns out…
