Suggest Remedy Back Pain
I hurt my back at work in 99 i have 3 herniated disks 2 buldging sciatica in the 2nd of the 4th stage osteoarthritis was getting si injections had a bad reaction which ate through the muscle and cartiledge so now im bone on bone with bone spurs and extensive nerve damage. The only thing that helps anymore is soma but I keep getting referred to more and more specialist and the pain is un-explainable but i have medicaid so im limited. Do you have any suggestions the orthopedic surgeon i saw said sorry about your luck but i had a scheduled fusion surgery 5 years ago then got divorced and lost my ins. The pain goes down right leg and sometimes cant use it but now my right arm. They had me on gabapentin which made me lose my appetite so 76 pds now and 37 2 kids. Will I get better before as they say I wake up paralyzed or my organs shut down from the pain?

Hello,
Thank you for contact us,
As you described it might because of more driving.
But Now a days its mostly the common problems in humans.
Mainly its due to inactivity of muscles it.
Today every one having totally sitting life as no work at all that could be count as a body exercise due to that problem occurs.
For lower back Pain you should follow instructions described below -
Best medicine for Lower back pain is Rest.
Resting for some days will heal the muscles which could be damage because of jerk. Muscles need some time to heal so give them time for the same.
Another way is to take massage with hot or cold water, Some people take cold water and some take hot for massage.
If pain is because of any accident or something big issue than you have to concern good doctor for the same.
Other exercise should be done as doctors suggest after checking you physically.
Hope it will work for your back pain.
Good luck, Take care.
Thanks & regards,
