i just wanted to know if others have a few days every month when their back is really bad

then the other days are fine for the most part

Nothing you could mark on your calander, but there are some days that are worse than others. Try looking at factors like berometric presure and such (aka rain etc).

Weather makes my nerve pain bad a time or two a month. It's not so much high or low pressure zones but the transition between the two. The more dramatic the change the more it hurts! If you want to be aware of them coming downlaod a weather service and target it to your local area...but in fair warning...somtimes ignorance is bliss.

I have the same problem some days are worse than others but I also have noticed when the weather changes it is worse. I've come to terms that its just something Im going to have to live with.

I too have good and bad days. I get a lot of burning, in fact in never really stops. Some days the intensity increases so much I can hardly stand it or me. Another thing that kind of comes and goes is a "heaviness" in my legs. We're suppose to be having a weather change in the next twenty-four hours, that might be the reason. I've also noticed the weather can affect you. It messes with my blasted allergies too!

My doctor put me on a new medication called Avinza and it has helped the pain. I still hurt some and worse at others but the medication has helped.

My pains do seem to cycle ,but, there doesn't appear to be any regularity.I might go over a month without having many of what I call the "bad ones", but when they arrive they may last a day or a week. After a couple of days of "the bad ones" I start to go insain(can't eat or sleep or focus on anything)Pain meds are a joke . Nothing seems to help but ,smoking pot helps me deal with it ,it helps me relax and gives me the apietite to eat . I don't feel like I'm a outlaw or a bad person for making this choice.With cathiterizing and taking alot of meds , I'm scared to drink more than 2 beers and only on rare occasions do I do that.So, pot is my friend.
