Hiya @Mummymacd and welcome
I'm quite new here myself. You will find it a very supportive and friendly place. In fact, I think I'm becoming hooked!
I also have long term back pain from prolapsed intervertebral disc, spondylosis (in the same spot) and osteoarthritis.
At the moment I'm trying a painkiller called Zydol (prolonged - release) which is actually working quite well.
Apparently can be addictive so I am limiting to bad days.
Swimming is good, do you manage to go ? -

I hope you enjoy your time on the Community and look forward to seeing you on it. If there is anything we can help/support you with then please just let us know. All the best.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.
