Hello Everyone,

I am new to this board. Had my first c-spine surgery in 1997 with an ACD/F at C5-7. Lumbar has been a problem and recently 'went out' on me. I am in excruciating pain. My old physiatrist doesn't take my insurance any more. The new physiatrist can't see me until the end of this month. Goig to the ER is in my opinion a waste of time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how long this lasts until it gets better on it's own? Any suggestions for home remedies? I can't lay on my back, can barely walk, moving sends a jolt...you all know the symptoms I'm sure.

Any suggestions anyone can provide are appreciated!
