    • Close Degenerative Disc Disease

      I have degenritive disks in my lower back side. I have had it for years now. Been seeking relief for years. Have tried everything you can think of yet the pain returns with the vengance. I have tried to get disability only to be turned down.

    • Close Back Pain

      Felt pain after shoveling snow. Then I had a couple of falls. I thought it was my knees. But after going to a orthopedic doc he sid it was my back. MRI showed degenritive disks and also sciactia nerve problems. I have tried many things to get relief. Im beginning to think that I will never get relief from what ever is wrong with me. I get very depressed about it sometimes. Im on different pain meds. All they do is make me fall asleep tried even spianl injections about 1 yr ago. But no relief.
