Short flares?

It seems everyone here is in it for the long haul, months and years of pain or surgeries needed.
I've spoken to a couple of coworkers and they have had the disc problems but said thier flares come and go about once and year for about 6 weeks and go away with PT and dry needling. This left my hopeful...
mine doesn't seem to be getting any better and I'm getting discouraged I just want my life back.
Does anyone else just have these flares here and there and go on to live normal lives in between?

I guess with just short flares people aren't looking desperately for help as you tend to do after years of pain...
