Waking pain

So after last night's discussion about my depression and coping with shitty things, my steemit buddy talked me into writing more about what I may be going through. He and my doctor both agree I should get it out to at least deal with the psychological portion of it.

Waking up several times during the night or being in a drug indused slumber That leaves me hung over worst than a bottle of Jack would the next morning are my only options left anymore. I wake up in a Sunday and get out of bed to walk around a few minutes before having to sit or stretch in order to reduce the inflammation and fatigue of my lower and mid back.

Originally the doctor had put me on both a steroid and non steroid for this, reduced some of the swelling but never solved the cause and ultimately after a year or so of medication I started having complications from side effects or liver issues, so I stopped. Now I spend the first 30 minutes every day trying to do every form of yoga I've learned when doing personal training a few years ago. I can function but have a significant reduction in quality of life.
