I'm so sorry you're suffering so. One nerve medication that has helped me some is TOPAMAX. It has helped with the burning, hot-poker, water-running type pain. It's really been great. Now if it could help with the horrible PAIN, that would be wonderful!!! I was just thinking that perhaps Topamax could help you. I haven't had any side effects from it, but some people might.

Like you, I can't walk much of a distance. Sitting is a new experience in pain. Laying down isn't much better because I have "sore spots" on the back that when I lay down, it just aggravates things. Maybe I should just hang from the ceiling??? lol.

I'm going on Friday (tomorrow) for yet another MRI, as I'm almost sure I've herniated another disc. I now have sciatica in both lets instead of the right one that i've had it in for the last 24 years. Don't really know why he's doing the MRI cause I can't have more surgery ~ doc's say i'm inoperable.

So between the two of us Kalikage, we couldn't even make ONE GOOD SPINE. LOL. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
