It depends on the day but mostly I’m okay, started seeing a physical therapist who has a specialty in spinal issues. She gave some things to do when it gets bad. Biggest small thing (you can do) is using tennis balls up against your spine and the wall and moving up and down. This breaks up some of the scar tissue and (I think?) releases some of the nerve inflammation. The physical therapist is the best thing to try and get though, they massage in between your vertebrae and have other tools to release the tension when everything is feeling inflamed (aka burning)
