I am so sorry about your MVA and the resulting injuries that have left you "a mess". I don't know if this will apply to your situation or not but you may find some "hope" in it. Many times, herniations will repair themselves in time. The lumbar herniation that you currently have could heal itself, especially if it is not related to your other MVA injuries. How long ago did your lumbar herniation appear on your MRI? For some reason, in my mind, I was thinking that it has appeared later and is not a part of your MVA injuries. But then sometimes, I just "think" things without any basis for them.
Wishing you less painful days and self repair of your lumbar herniation.
