I have had 6 back surgeries, 2 cervical with last one was fused. I am presently having left back, hip and upper leg pain. Sitting is difficult, walking sometimes helps but then I feel like I am dragging a concrete block. I can not lay on the left side for more than 10-15 minutes before very bad pain starts. Now I am starting to have some lower back issues also on my right side and also some bladder leakage. Not a lot just enough that I wear a small pad. I have seen a local neuro doctor and due to scar tissue at L5 and S1 he thinks may have some complications. I left very confused and aggravated. I have been told I have degenerated disc, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis. I have asked my primary doctor to send me to someone for a second opinion in Louisville Kentucky. Is this what I need to do or just give up and hope for the best? I have fallen several times. I am a 58 year old woman grasping for advice any way I can get it. I don't want to be an invalid or live with this pain forever!
