Default you are all so kind, but

I've used the tens, used the Lidoderm patches, used the muscle stimulator, had PT for pain, I've just been there done that with all of the less invasive things. They take off the edge, but it's just not enough. I've even combined some of them. I used Lidoderm patches at night, Tens and pain med in the daytime and Muscle Stim. in between. Brian, I bought the magnets but can't find any place where they seem to do any good.

I do think it's possible there is some nerve damage in the tailbone, sacral area because one of the breaks was accross the S3 area. But nothing shows in the MRI's. The neuro says that doesn't mean there isn't damage there tho. It wouldn't be the first time that someone had pain that no source could be found for. And I've had this tailbone area pain for so long. We've done all kinds of testing to find the source of it. There is restriction on that side in the knee area, ankle area and some in the hip area. Like there is a giant spasm that won't let me go. I walk one sided like my spine is twisted some. And I lean to one side, one hip higher than the other.

I'm just so tired of the pain. Just don't know what to do and I'm very afraid it's not going to leave.
