Thanks for all of the great suggestions, MrsD. I will try the fish oil since I have some that I never really started. Since I have a tiny bit of cartilege left in my knees, I will also try the SAMe. I would love getting off the Celebrex, if for nothing else, the cost alone. I will also check out the Curcumin. I have some Lidoderm patches. Is it best to apply them where the pain is or half them and apply to each side of the tailbone area?

The film produced from the discogram I had actually showed the fluid seeping out to the one side. I still keep thinking that somehow the nerves are being compressed based on how my PN reacts. What is the procedure called where they can now repair this? And I guess a neurosurgeon would be the type of doctor to perform it?
