I understand your back problems.
I have a broken bone at the base of my back.
The doctor says back surgery is the most uncertain thing going and only recommended surgery if the pain was unbearable.
I go to a chiropractor for back adjustments to help me out.
When my back goes out every step nearly takes me to the floor.
This past March 3rd it went out.
I held onto the end of the bed with all my strength to keep from falling due to pain while my wife dressed me so I could get to the chiropractor.
Now I know you did state the neck injury but have you tried or considered a chiropractor or massage?
Maybe chiropractics on just your lower back to help ease tension.
Or massage.
I never had it done until it was recommended by my chiropractor.
It made a big difference.
Tell them to stay away from your neck.
Massage is primarily muscle relaxing which sounds like what you might need.
I sat on my bike (2008 Yamaha Tour Deluxe at the time - now new R3T) to see if I could hold it up.
I found out that it is not my back that holds the bike up but my legs.
My back was not involved at all.
I do have a backrest for the driver to help my back relax.
I thought all these wonderful modern marvels of science and medicine were supposed to make life better for people like you and me.
I truly hope you are feeling better and I hope you find something to help eliminate your back spasms.
Keep us updated as to how you are feeling and progressing and if you find something that works - let us know!!
The Lord's peace and blessing to you!!
