    • Hug

      From supernanna02 July 25

      I can really feel your pain, like you I am searching for answers. Mine started in L4&L5. I have also been getiing the injections.Still sometimes I find myself limping from the pain. Now they have discoved a huge buldge in T7&T8, but it is buldging underneath my spine. There are two procedures that they are thinking about. One is not so drastic if they can get to the disc, the other one is very drastic and it really worries me. I hope that they could come up with some type of treatment that could stop the pain, tingling and the numbness. I wish you all the best, and if you come up with any new solutions, please let me know.Good Luck

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      Waiting to see if this helps
      Epidural Injection Somewhat Helpful
      Slight improvement on pain; not worth the money.
      Heat Not Working
      Actually made back pain worse
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Killed the pain, not using any pain meds right now, besides aleve.
      Naproxen Working / Worked
      I think this helps with inflammation in my back.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      Moved pain from back to leg. Probably a little easier to live with, but possibly more damaging.
      TENS Working / Worked
      Can't tell that this helps.
