You description of your spinal problems look just like my list. Way to go having children was very hard for me. You did not state if you have any nerve damage? I do and now have an implanted pain pump. I need to find a doctor that can repair nerve damage to my lower spine. I can't live like this. I really want my life back. If you have any information please let me know. Thanks. wavedreamer1@aol.com

Do you have nerve damage? If so do you know of a great doctor that can repair it? Thanks Sandra wavedreamer1@aol.com

Sandra,

First the bad news, there is no way to repair nerve damage.

Now the good. Neurontin and Lyrica drugs help lessen the effects of the nerve damage, if that's what it is. They do have their side effects but with severe pain, are well worth it.

Also, there may be something pressing on your nerve and that should be investigated via an MRI or other test. I'm in no way any kind of health care professional but that kind of severe pain may be nerve compression somewhere.

However, even while investigating what's causing your pain, you can still take either of these two drugs.

Good luck, Dale

You might want to rethink your name without your email address.
