Kim,
I wish I could help you with some answers, only I have been dealing with much the same problem not for several years.
i have been to numerous Dr's. and had all the test done etc.
All I get is,"yes there is a problem and we can't prove or disapprove that it is related to the spine, of course we're most sure it is, but does it really matter you have the problem so here is another script to help, of course we can't fix it but this med. will help the discomfort".
I haven't taken the script as of yet only because I can not stand the thought of yet another med when I am already on seven and all for symptoms nothing to cure or fix.
I wish you the best of luck and don't give up.
Linda
