I have arthritis, a bone spur, a small bulging disc in my back and I have a pinched nerve in my pelvic area.
My Dr. says none of them r bad enough for surgery, and I don't want surgery. I just want to be out of pain long enough just to walk like a normal person.
I can't take pain meds. because, I have a back stomach.
I also have Fibro. and can't take any kind of inflammatory med. for that because, of my bad stomach.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to get rid of some of this pain.
Any help, I am having it so rough with the pain.
Thank you

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My MRI showed all this, but, the pinched nerve, the Dr. that did the nerve study told me that. The problem is it is my MD that is taking care of me right now. He is the same age that I am. I don't think he thinks I should be having these problems at our age.
I don't know of any pain management clinic, never tried the accupuncture.
The TENS unit I know they wanted to have my Husband to get one of those for his back.
Thank you guys so much. I will have to check this stuff out.
