Hello I am a 37 year old who has worked in the medical field for the last 15 years until 2011 I fell getting out of the tub before work thought I has broke my tail bone so went on into work and had the Dr I work for order an xray it showed nothing so I continued to work with the pain the next day I had the dr order an mri because the pain was getting more than I could handle had the mri it showed 2 disc had broke and I has fragments and 4 disc where Hernated so the dr decided I need to see a Neuro Surgeon so I had to wait a week to see him tried to work but was unable so the dr put me off work till I seen the neuro surgeon. Finally seen the Neuro Surgeon and he looked at mri and said my back looked like the back of a 60 year old person not what I wonted to hear and he said that the only way to fix this was to a Discotomy so he was the dr so we scheduled surgery, so had it June 1, 2011 felt good for about 2 months and then the pain came back went back do the surgeon had another mri and had another disc that broke so had another discotomy on 8/31/2011 was doing really good was so hoping to go back to work but my work requried that I see one of there doctors so I did and he told me that I would never be able to go back to work for the nerve damage I had in my back and not being able to left more than 3 pounds not the news I wonted to hear in Novemeber the pain had came back worst than every before so back to the neuro surgeon this time he said we where going to have to do a fusion in my back that was the only way to stop the pain and the disc from breaking I ask several question and he assured me this would stop the pain, I even went an got another opinion and they told me the same thing so on 1/5/2012 I had my fusion of L5-S1 the recovery from this was horrible could not get out of bed for a week had to have help doing everything and I forgot to mention I lost my job but back to the pain it was horrible went back for a follow up and told him how bad the pain was and he said we need to sent you to pain Mangement for pain control so off to see another Dr so went there and for several months we tried several different medicine to control my pain and we still have not got one to help it so we talked about me having a spinal cord stimulator put in read all about and the Sucuess rate on it was very good and people seems to haven gotten alot of pain relief so I thought might as well give it a try so I did on 11/30/2012 we done trial on it where they let you wear it for about a week to see how you do with it done pretty good with got finally got some pain relief so after the week was up we decided to schedule to have it put in so on 1/16/2013 I had it put it help for the first couple of months and now my pain level it way up there we have tried several different medicine and still no help so the dr has advised to have a spinal injection not sure about them it Having a really hard time with the pain and depression My husband it a big help and I have friend going through the same thing so I can talk to her. Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem I have had and if anyone has had the spinal injection thank
