How Can Severe Pain In The Lower Back Be Treated?

I have suffered with chronic pain for years. used to be very strong, athletic, was an equestrian that used to jump 4 1/2 foot fences etc. Have totally gone down the tubes . Began with severe degenerative neck disease (everything from many herniation to everything else possible in the book . No Dr would perform surgery, after 10 years found one that did fusion from c3-c7...it failed and wanted to put rod in neck. said I no ., Now degeneration in lower back. At least once a month (haven t had period in years) my symptoms become very severe to the point of bed ridden. I m at my whits end . Don t know what to do anymore. Thank you. Karen
