" it is the muscles in your back you need to get on a muscle relaxer! They work harder when you have DDD and they are stretched out ! Atleast that is what I was told!! My back burns also nothing really helps me though they tried flexrill but I had an allergy to it so I don't take any relaxers now! Good luck to you !! Hope you find relief!! "
