I have asked this question once before, but think I did something wrong, I ve already paid and would really like an answer! I am 63 and have had back problems for 25 years. L4/5 discs ruptured and had to be operated on, I felt great until knocked by a pedestrian on a street, back I go for L4/5 discectomy, feeling much better. Nobody told me that I was born with scoliosis, I don t believe my parents knew, then I went through the dreadfull polio epidemic in Great Britain, I came down with the symptoms, but was kept at home, I don t know why, I couldn t stand and yet before the feaver I could! Mum never told me how long it took for me to get over that. Since my last discectomy I have had 4 more. The last one I was told no more surgery by Dr Miller at VGH. Too much scar tissue from Dr Gittens surgeries, and possible large problems. A pain block was recommended BUT I have to wait a year to get one, can t afford to go private, I m disabled retired and broke! Lol! I also have Fibromyalgia and depression. These last discs that are causing intense pain in my lower back, my bum and my sciatic nerve are new ones to go L2/3 but too close to the scar tissue for surgery, my GP had me on 30 mg extended release in a.m and pm. With prn of 5mg 4 x a day for breakout pain. My personal maximum on morphine in 10mg otherwise it does strange things to me, in this case I was in more & more pain with my leg & with each additional mg it just kept getting worse, I kept falling on my hips, hitting my head, falling off the toilet etc; I have told him no more morphine & I m slowly detoxing.... It s hard.... But I m winning, the pain is coming back though and I have heard of some results with an injection given to yourself inn the belly? I believe it s meant for arthritis but as I have that anyway, I was wondering about it. I have pretty much all the autoimmune problems, right down to Vitilgo and lychen sclerosis I also have collegeus colitis. And tried a lot of different meds. I take pregablin & T3s Prystic. I m a mess! But the big thing is the pain I need some informed suggestions, to keep it under control... Please & thank you. Lynda
