Default re pain

Many times our clinical findings aren't as impressive as our subjective complaints meaning it MRI findings may show findings that are mild yet we the person will have terrible pain. That was my case for many years.

Mark do you think a CT scan and some other exams may reveal more findings?

I'm sorry you're in so much pain.. have been there too many years (I started having probs at age 28). Even after 2 discectomies I still have probs tho use a low dose opioid pain medicine on daily basis to be able to function.

Are you seeing a Pain Management specialist? If your findings aren't showing something that would necessitate surgery you may want to consider doing this avenue to see what can be offered to reduce your pain.
