My back and neck pain have been held in check lately. Sporadic bouts of pain, but nothing that would require drugs or injections. I sure hope to keep it that way for as long as I can. The summer is here and I hope to keep my simple vacation plans intact.

Riding the train is no problem as long as I have room to stand, recline. Move around. Riding in the rental car isn’t bad either, since my wife does the driving. Heat pads. Ice packs. lumbar supports and pillows help.

Meanwhile, I have listed a few links you readers might find helpful in treating your back pain.
