Three cups per soak.

If you're using that much salt, have you ever thought of having a salt water tub created instead? I don't have one, but a friend does and you just leave the water in the tub.

I rent. Can't install some other tub.

But you can afford gallons of salt and the hot water bill? Ok sure.

When it began, I tried every drug and alternative and allopathic treatment on the planet short of surgery (three medications, antidepressants, myofascial release, dance, core strengthening, significant weight loss (75+ pounds), ergo assessments, Flexeril, endless NSAIDs, physical therapy – multiple rounds thereof – topical creams, lidocaine patches, deep-tissue massage, chiro, acupuncture, Alexander method, Pilates, yoga, tough cardio, weights…everything.

I gave up when my bank account ran dry. The pain still allowed me to keep working until recently, twenty years later. I began the merry-go-round again: PT, trigger point injections, THC, CBD, dry needling, you name it. Nothing worked. Work was agony. I could barely sleep.

Out of desperation I recently started throwing mass quantities of Epsom salts into my bath. Twenty minutes’ soak at the hottest temperature I can stand – and the pain is practically gone for 24-36 hours straight. I go through three cups a night. I’m med-free now. I can sleep through the night again, and work with only minor discomfort.

If your back pain sucks ass as bad as mine did, give it a try. I buy a cheap fifty-gallon barrel of Epsom every month.

If you use 3 cups a day x 30 days a month, it's a total of 5.625 gallons of epsom salt. Is this another weird troll?

My question too! Do you float on top of the water like you would in the dead sea?
My challenge is my neck and shoulders; not sure I wanna lie down in the bathtub.
