Suggest Treatment For Back Pain With Scoliosis And Degenerative Disc
I have scoliosis,degenerativedisc,and arthritis all the way from my neck to my lower back. I have had 3 neck fusions and 4-5 back fusions. I am being told that I need another neck fusion ASAP. My pain is 24-7 along with breakthrough pain. I am unable to stand in one spot for more than maybe 4-5 minutes without my back starting to feel as if it is caving in. I go to a pain clinic, but even with all of the meds I take, I still suffer daily when all I really want is to be able to enjoy life. I will be 60 in November, but don t think that is too old to want to be active and enjoy doing it. I am so fed up with all of the meds, I want a solution. I don t think that is too much to ask.

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think your You are suffering from lumbar sponylosis with degenerative spine.Rest in posision of relief, Cartisafe D once daily,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief.Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required.You may be further investigated by MRI and operation may be required. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
