Yes my lower back is getting all the attention now. It has been operated on at least 3 times. I keep getting fractures in the vertebra. Stenosis and some bending in the wrong way. Every time my spine surgeon tries to get me more in the correct position, my body just does what it wants , even when it means to work a screw out. I have done that several times too. This last one must have had my sciatic nerve in a horrible position because i couldn't even walk one step . The pain was too bad so i was in a wheel chair for a little while. Then more surgery to free the sciatic nerve. Always something with me.
Let us know about your lumbar spine. Are your legs involved with that? I hope not for your sake. Any appointments comiing up. Look for a spine doc though. I go to a practice that has a doctor for every part in orthopedics. I have used many of them as well. I am lucky in that.
