HELP Me Please
I have several problems C1-C5 bulging,L5 close to herniating and my physical therapist is looking to release me in July.I am down to last cortisone shot in neck and only did one in back and made pain worse.I was offered a epidural steroid shot in back but refused because I want to stay away from surgeries.So I been doing pain Management and physical therapy.
I will be getting released from physical therapist in a few month's and I do not know what to do with myself?I am soooooo lost!I have a neurological problem which is problem solving and I have no idea what to do after physical therapy?I am trying to plan ahead and I will continue to do my home exercises that PT taught me.I am open to ANY suggestions besides surgery please & thank you.Mia
