I have suffered from lower back pain for many years. However in the past year, it has become almost intolerable. I have a herniated disk and curvature of the spine, and not sure what else.
My sister had the same problem and opted for an operation that did no good, was very painful, and perhaps made her condition worse.
I know they have less invasive operations than she had. I am just so reluctant to have any kind of operation. I had a neurologist suggest I try spinal shot, where they stick a needle in your spine area to try and numb the pain. I am considering this, but wanted to know if there were any others who have similar problem and what have you done about it. Was your treatment successful?
