Hello Everyone,
I am new here and have been diagnosed with one bad back. I have a tear in L4/L5, bulging discs, severe arthritis and spinal stenosis. I suffer from severe back pain daily, nightly, and every breathing moment. I really need some advice. If and when I get my insurance back I will more then likely need surgery, but I am not so sure if I want to get it. Right now, my main goal is to get more movement, less stiffness, and pain. I take Norco for pain, and muscle relaxer for spasms. But neither really do the trick. I just really need some good advice on what to do. I have tried everything, ice, heat, muscle rubs, pain patches, multiple back procedures, and now all that is left is surgery. Unless there are some other ideas out there. Thanks for your time. Peace and hugs, Mary
