I suffer from back pain!!
I had an mri scan and there is damage to the L4 & LS discs.
I can’t sleep at night and I’m becoming more and more frustrated, I am taking muscle relaxers and serious pain med's to make it through most days.
I'm in physical therapy 2 days a week, and try still be active...taking walks but don't want to push my luck and hurt my self further.
Have tried to remain positive, but lately my self esteem has been low due to pain and lack of quality sleep.
I feel so tired.... It’s as if my day is over before it’s begun, I'm 29 and feel 60!!
I don't really like shots and the thought of one in my spine scares the crap out of me!!
I was just wondering if anyone has had these cortisone injections in the lower back, and what the experience was like.....
Did they hurt??
Feel any improvement short term or long term??
How long did the improvement last??
Feel in a worse condition after the injections??
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer me!!!
