yes iv'e had a lumbar MRI and CT. I have a herniation at L4-5. apparently spondylolisis and spondylolisthesis, the L4 slipped on top of L5. theres also some degenerative issues, narowwing of the canal, and a bunch of other things.
I had a lumbar injection last week, and actually feel worse, have had pain down my left leg to my big toe since the accident, can barely walk. I've seen my D.O. and an ortho surgeon...not sure what the next step is. I also tore my supraspinatus tendon in my shoulder.....hell of an accident, i'm so irritated, and in so much pain every day

You were sure in a horrible accident. Have the ortho doctors discussed surgery or anything to fix you? Did you have just one injection? I am having lumbar injections on Wednesday . My surgeon uses general anesthesia as he doesn't want to cause pain. He does about 6 or 8 injections at one time. the last time they took away lots of my pain and i am hoping they will do the same on Wed. The cortisol in the shot helps me with strength , pain everywhere and my sleep so i don'[t sleep all day. I have a pituitary loss of function and adrenal insufficiency and it is now thought that i am low on steroids (cortisol) so i love getting any anesthesia as i need to get a stress dose of steroids which helps me for about a week. Sorry this is so long.
So through all this how is your mid back? It is the strongest part as the ribs are connected to the spine and it makes the whole area much less likely to have problems. judy

I agree, spine pain does suck. I had a hip replacement and the pain before the replacement. After the spine acted up, i told my hip surgeon that hip pain was nothing before and after.
I hope you get some relief soon. Are you on any pain meds? Judy
