I Have Chronic Back Pain

I suffer from very chronic back pain. Due to my accident back in February of 2015 in which I'm still recovering from, my back has been weak and I have to go through the pain everyday! It's terrible I have to wear a corset type of back brace to keep my spine straight and on top of that a super bulky hard shell brace. Whenever I use my walker to walk I need my assistant to hold my back for even more support due to the fact that my back locks up on me so often. Along with my other braces, neck brace (Miami J collar) and sometimes leg brace.

@boldtimer I still cannot imagine how difficult you're situation was and still is! Back pain of any sort of pain is horrible, on top on my excruciating back pain I had 4 slipped discs and was required to have a couple surgeries which has really left my back all weird and yes Infact I have a specialist taking care of me here in Florida! My doctor does a weekly check up and whether all my braces for support are having a positive effect on me and my at home assistant is wonderful! She's the one that helps me do basic tasks since I can't do many on my own. How are you? Can you do everyday things on your own?
