I have extremely horrible lower back pain that shoots down my left leg. I can't sit or stand for more than 30 mins without my back hurting, my butt going numb or shooting pains going all the way down to my foot. At one point it caused me to fall. It gets to the point where I don't ant to get out of bed or move sometimes for that matter. I've had nerve blocks , PT, Tens Unit and have also been to the chiropractor. The epidural blocks did not help. I had no relief from them. PT I do most of the same thing at home with my ROM exercises. My tens unit I go through so many batteries it doesn't make sense!!! One doctor said I'll feel this way for the rest of my life and another wants to do surgery. I want to figure out what all this means before I make a decision. Once again THANK YOU ALL FOR ANY AND ALL HELP!!!
