Thanks Allen!
Hi Allen! I am desperate @ this point to get some relief! It would be wonderful to SLEEP through the night without it feeling like I'm being stung by hundreds of bees!
Some of my docs are just convinced that it is a compression fracture - with good reason since I've been on so much pred, but I've had xray after xray with no fractures yet! Thank God!
All I DO know is that I have been pain free only once in over a year - and that was when I was given a lot of pain meds in the hospital (morphine and norco) and that (for me) is not an option. I have to be lucid in order to take care of my family.....so upsetting! It was 4 hours of BLISS!)
OK - enough whining - how are YOU? Are you feeling better?
Big hugs!
Erin

Everyone is different, but often relief from disk pain is not easily obtained.
Your description sounded so similar, but so many disk bulging patients have the same exact pain in buttocks and radiating down. When you said numbness , wow, it sounds so familiar to me.
I opted for surgery both times only because I was working fulltime 6 days a week, and didnt have time to try to work anything out. Ive been basically back pain free ever since, besides the usual overdoing it and pain stuff.
Please contact your physician, a little therapy and you may be feeling better in a week.
