Hi Mfitz ~ I'm sorry you're suffering so. I have degeneration from the cervical all the way down to the lumbar, and I've had surgeries on the lumbar.

I'd suggest that you ask for a referral to a pain management specialist so you can get your pain under control. These docs are usually anesthesiologists, and can give you many many options for pain relief. These include spinal cord stimulators and morphine pump implants. These two implants give peoples lives back to them. There are many other options too.

Do me a favor tho ~ please do not see a chiropractor again. i've been told my 2 different Neurosurgeons that any spinal patient is risking paralyzation and/or the wheelchair by going to chiros. Just one wrong push, pull, tweak can put you in a world of trouble.

Best of luck and I hope your pain is relieved. God bless. hugs, Lee
