Pain, Pain, Pain and MORE Pain....

Hi Rose,
So sorry that you are having pain pain and more pain! Yes most of us have been and still are dealing with pain pain and more pain, infact my pain is a real pain!
I had a microdiskectomy with decomp in May 2005. I did so so until Nov Dec 2006. From here the story sounds much like yours, from sneezing to loading or unloading the dishwasher, and hate to say....going to the bathroom. Basically anything that increased pressure in my back. I had lots of days that I could not get up. My original problem was a herniated L5-S1.
It turns out I reherniated same place and I had a great deal of scar tissue from the first surgery. I am not sure if that is what is happening with you but just thought I would throw it out there for you to consider.

You absolutely need an MRI, especially if PT and ESI's haven't helped.
I hope you find some relief soon.
