MY Back Update

[Chris]

Going to the Dr tomorrow for the 3rd out of 3 they can give me shot, Its i nthe back they do it well actually its a little lower right in the top of your crack lol First 2 hasnt helped a bit.

I think its just getting worse, when i go to stand up theres so much pain that sometimes i need to sit back down as i cant get up any futher to get fully standing. Tomorrow atthe appoinment im gonna ask for him to set me up for a new MRI as i feel its gotten worse and im ready to discuss the surgery option, Its been 2 years now since i initially injured my back, and i think its time to try the surgery as nothing else seems to help.:giveup:

Will update ya on this and what the dr says tomorrow after i get back :poundcry:

Chris,

I've got the same problems. I'm up to 2 on the left side and 1 on the right. I know the pain and feeling of why isn't this working. I'm only 29 and have 3 kids to take care of and can't hold them or bend over and play for more then 5 mins. WTH!!

They said I have Degenerative Disc Disease in my L4 + L5 region and buldging discs but they won't do surgery...I've done MRIs, CT Scans, and an EMG or EGM can't ever remember. They've currentlly taking Mobix to see if that does anything...

Good Luck and keep me informed..

Chris,
Man just wish you the best as Back Pain is no laughing matter. I hope they can give you some comfort at all to a semblance of a normal routine or the best scenario with some new techniques.

Just got back

got my 3rd and last shot and a r eferral to go for an MRI and to see a surgeon

Chris, I hope you have better luck than I did. I`ve had 7 back operations and am in worse shape now than I was before the first. My doc says I`ve had to many now. Those shots are a bunch of crap. Been there done that with the same results, nada! After you have surgery you`re pretty much done. I`m sure some people have good results, but speaking for myself if there`s any way possible don`t do it! I personally know 4 people besides me who`ve had surgery and it didn`t do any good at all. 3 out of the 4 have had to have more than one operation. One`s had 4 now, ones had 2, and the other`s had 5. And like me they all live on pain pills. And god forbid if anything goes wrong... Get a second opinion and even a third. Take it from someone who knows.

Tom.
