I need HELP!!!

[M.O.D]

last oct i was hit by a truck while riding my mountain bike, i had quite a few injuries but what i'm dealing is sucking the life out of me....last november one month after my accident i had a 4MM protrusion in my L5 s1 ( going off memory i dont have the report in front of me)...i just had another MRI yesterday and now its at 7MM...its pressing on my siatic nerve 24/7....the pain starts in my left glute and shoots down my like like a fucking blow torch...i've been going for treatments 4 days a week and nothing is helping..i've had an epidural block, medriol dose pack and nothing helps...i'm lucky to get 2 hours sleep a night...the pain never lets up...so now after getting the latest result it looks likes surgery is my only option..

has anyone had this problem or now of anything i can try before i go under the knife?...i'm trying at all costs to avoid having surgery..


any help or ideas would be appreciated

Sorry bro but it sounds like surgery is your only option at this point. Have you sought a second opinion?

I know a powerlifter that was in the same boat and had to have L5 and S1 fused,. He is back at it and he is fine and it has been three years now. Maybe you should just get it over with. Hope it works out bro.

Just curious bro, what is holding you back from the surgery? If nothing else has been working and the surgery would, in the end, alleviate the pain you are suffering - it may be the best thing... For pains sake at least. I'm not sure how recovery would be after the surgery, but it's got to be better than the pain that you are describing... I wish there was someting I could do for you bro

YUM

BRO I KNOW IT SUCKS BUT I THINK SURGERY IS YOUR ONLY OPTION,YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING,I'M GUESSIN IF IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE,SINCE THE ACCIDENT NOTHING WILL HELP AT THIS POINT.I DEALT WITH A SHOULDER INJURY FOR 18MONTHS BEFORE I HAD SURGERY NOW I'M AS GOOD AS NEW,I KNOW THERE IS NO REAL COMPARISION BETWEEN SHOULDER AND BACK ,BUT I DID HAVE INCREDABLE PAIN THAT KEPT ME UP ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.I KNOW SURGERY IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT BUT IT MAY BE THE WAY TO GO.
