I have disc ruptures at L2,L3,L4,L5 and S1 with a bulge at L1 I am in a lot of pain and the doctor I talked to said there was nothing that could be done. I am only twenty eight years old and not sure why this happened to me. I do know I do not want to live my life like this. I cannot work because I only done labor based jobs. I have had back pain for years but now it is getting unbearable. Since the diagnose I quit smoking, lost 30lbs, and started college but the pain keeps getting worse. Now I am expirencing neck pain too, I know great news. I was wondering if there is anything that sounds fimilar to anybody about me. All the research I have done I have not seen any imformation that is close to mine.
