Neuropathy Till Feet, And Screw From L2 To S1. History Of Failed Lower Back Surgeries. Pain?

Hello, my name is JoAnn Endress. I am 59 years old. I had 2 failed lower back surgeries in 1999 and 2000. I have neuropathy all of the way down to my feet. I have been falling a lot the past few weeks. I have rods and screws from L2 to S1. I have been seeing the same Pain Managemt Dr. for the past 10 years, I have been good and faithful. He has sent some records on D.V.D. form and old x-rays. I am running out of my pain meds. My pain has been getting worse.
