I hope you feel better too Bram. I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I have bulging discs in my lower back. Happened when I was little while sledding backwards into a wooded plank. I also have scoliosis which doesn't help. I recently had an MRI on hips and back and was diagnosed with osteoarhtritis. There is not much they can do about it. I hope that your dr can help you out. Mine suggested PT. Maybe that might help you. I hope that something helps you so you feel better soon.
And Vrae, I just wanted to tell you that maybe be put under for nerveblocks isn't so great to do. I forgot how lousy I felt afterwards. I coughed and sounded like a duck when I did and couldn't swallow for about an hour after being put under. It's a reaction to the anestesia. It is normal they say, but very uncomfortable. I hope that whatever you do you feel better soon too.
Soft Hugs to Everyone Here on This Forum. With Love, Renee.
