Suggest Treatment For Excessive Back Pain With An MRI Inference Of Nerve Impingement
I have suffered low back pain, upper back pain for 27 yrs. Opiates don t help, most muscle relaxers don t help. An MRI shows that I have two nerves impinged in lower L side and SI joint is very painful. The pain is worsening and I am ready to give up. I cannot bear this pain much longer. My days consist of lying down 10 to 12 times a day to get some relief in order to do the basic things related to housekeeping and cooking. I am a disabled RN and I am desperately seeking relief from this pain. I am angry at this constant pain. Clydia Jackson

Hi clydia
Unabated pain with nerve implications and SI joint arthritis should be re evaluated by an orthopedist.Usually physical therapy provides some relief,but if your daily routine severely affected,some permanent solution can be by fusion surgery of lower spine.
