Triple lower back fusion with rods and screws.Been to sev. different specialists.Currently having injections monthly.They're very painful and do not last for more than 2 weeks.These consist of nerve blocks,SI joint injections,and trigger point injections.I am also diabetic and can't have any steriods.I am SO tired of pills and the reactions from them.Most of all,the lack of mobility because of the pain.I am currently on an anti-depressant.I feel that it helps with my mood, but not with the pain. Currently on pain med and muscle relaxer.I don't want to feel drugged and am very sensitive to medicines. Can't take any anti-inflamatory meds..stomach problems.Before you say,"talk" to your doctors.I HAVE!! I need something to work! I have been in phys.therapy, which I am not a candidate.The risk of re-injury is so high with the degenerative disc disease,and knee problems.Even tried the muscle stimulation,water therapy,moist heat,massage,ice packs.Symptoms returned after a short relief. HELP!
