I have been having lower back pain. I took MRI, which showed a mild bulge at L2, L3, and L4. My report mentions spondylitis. I already took a one-month course of calcium and vitamin D3 and also underwent acupuncture treatment, but stiffness and pain persist. I have been suffering from this severe problem for the last 4 years?

Chronic spondylitis needs long term care. Pain & stiffness may persist. Continue physiotherapy, posture care, and possibly see a spine specialist.

My wife has been suffering from upper back pain for the past 20 days. Initially, the pain was radiating, but now it has become localized to a pinpoint area in the upper middle back. We have done an X ray and blood tests, and both came back normal. So far, we have consulted three orthopedic doctors, but she has not found any relief from the pain.
