Question: Had a major car collision in 2015 resulting in S1 pressure and have had surgery to rectify this but with no avail.

Follow up: Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (0 minute later)

Hey there , I’ve seen about 50-60 + GP’s aswell as About 10-15 Private GPs about my pain in my back that has been crippling me for years. They’ve offered me stuff called naproxen or codeine but neither of these things do anything for my pain.

But with ANY doctor I’ve seen they say the stronger stuff is addictive etc, but I’ve heard it all before and I just want my life back.

I’m 26, own my own very successful business but the pain (and therefore) lack of sleep debilitated me and my business. I’ve literally emailed and enquired with about 10 XXXXXXX doctors also but again, no help there either.

I’m just enquiring on what to expect in the future of enquires and to see if you or anyone else could give any further information?

Much regards XXXXXXX Larner

Brief Answer:
Do an MRI to get diagnosed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should get further evaluated and diagnosed in order to receive the right treatment.
I think you may need to do an MRI to check the conditions of your spine.
A herniated disc or broken vertebrae as a result of the accident may be causing your pain.
Taking count that the NSAIDs are not working surgery may be the only solution.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
