What Does Persistent Lower Back Pain Even After GTB Injection And Rhizotomy Indicate?

For the past year I have been treated for low back pain and hip also right leg. I have had injections on both right and left side of my back, and the hip. They are GTB Injection, TF, MBB, Rhizotomy. They ran MRI Lumbar spine w/o contrast, CT lumbar spine w/o contrast, Spect scan L spine. All the meds they put me on did not help. Now they want to put in a pain pump. I feel lost what to do?

hi,

as you mentioned you have lower back pain and you have already taken symptomatic treatment for the same. but no relief. Also it's not making me understand that when you took all scans you did not mention anything about what the scan has revealed. until we know what the scan have revealed what are your signs and symptoms it will be difficult to comment.

though you have mentioned about back pain I can suggest something in general but the helpful will be when advised in specific.

You can discuss about physical therapy to your physician. It is a non invasive techniques of reducing pain and also the way to get strength back in the muscular system. The approach will be totally scientific and beneficial. this is to mention in general as you haven't provided any detialing about what the scan has revealed.

I wish you provide deep history of you where I can help with precision.
