Have Disc Problems In Lower Back. History Of Car Accidents. Stiffness After Fall. Any Ideas?

Hi, I have disc problems in c4,5,6,7 T3.,4 and low back. I've been in 2 car accidents and doing well. One year ago I slipped and fell hard, catching my self with my wrist and landing on my butt. I now feel jammed and jarred, still! I saw the Dr. 2 days later and he said my body was in shock. I'm just a young 55 female. I've done most things but drugs and surgery to relieve the pain..(.ice, heat adjustments shots) any idea? Thank you so much.... Oh now my Dr. says I should do NO manuale labor and go
sell cars. I'm a CNA ( Bulging)

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Any symptom persisting since a year needs a detailed evaluation. In your case, the lumbosacral spine needs to be investigated with MRI scan.

Physical therapy (ice, heat) only may not provide relief in all cases. You need to use Analgesics & Muscle relaxants also based on the need.

Consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed workup and management .

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
