Good morning

I know this forum could use some life born into it so I decided to come on over and try to bring you lurkers out. I'm at about the end of trying non-envasive procedures and exercise to get relief from my low back pain.

THe steroid injection lasted a week or so (that was a quick $1500), 7 weeks of Physical Therepy that made me worse not better. I've been on the DRX-9000 where I walked in and crawled out. Tried the tens unit that just made my spasms worse.

That leaves me with drugs. Vicodin, Zanaflx, Celebrex and Lidocaine patches. I'm contacting my doctor to do a Discogram this week. Apprently this is a painful procedure but will make my problem visable after the MRI did not show enough to be agressive initially. I look at those pictures and it looks like a jagged mess.....maybe these doctors are trained to make us suffer to prove we hurt? I dunno...

If anyone is out there, would love to make a friend
