Back Update
Well here we go. I have been to I don't know how many Dr.s, been on every pain med possible and still no relief. I have one surgeon saying surgery and another saying no. So at the moment I am stuck. One of the Dr.s showed me my MRI and in my lower spine I have two disks that are pretty much gone. What I do have left of them is pushing on my spinal cord and nerves which is causing all of the irritation. That is all I know for now. I am going on two months of this and am going absolutely CRAZY!
I also wanted you to know that I am now using a permanent email. It is [email protected] This is the only email I will check so please update your address books.
Hope you are all doing well. I do snoop around and check on you guys, I don't right much, but I still care and think about you all and I want you to know that.
Take care
Maghan

Awwww, Maghan... I was really hoping that one of the pain treatments would help you. CRAZY is the perfect word! If there is a specialist who is "above" your current surgeons in technique / credential-wise, it might be worth checking out a "tie-breaker" with yet another Dr. consult!
Hope that you get an answer and relief soon!

Well I have been to 2 surgeons. One said surgery but wanted me to go to another surgeon for a 2nd opinion that Dr said no surgery and now they are both saying no. Good news however still no relief. They are sending me to another Dr next week so hopefully we can figure something out then. Thanks for checking in!!

I really hope they figure this one out soon! It would be great to be pain free or have less of it!
Wondering if you would be able to get a "Stim" for home use??? Is that even possible, especially since you are more than qualified to use one (my humble opinion... )
I'd be glued into a recliner, if that helped... or standing under a hot shower...
Pain is well, a pain in the... , but you're dealing with the unknown here... Thinking about U!
