Default Any advice?

I had a discectomy at L-4 in 1997 and it was good for about five years. Now its bad at L4, L5, and S1. I have nerve pain down both legs in back and on the outside of both quads. My low back hurts constantly, my feet hurt and the right one goes numb with foot drop. I can't walk far.

I also had the same on C5/6 in 1998 which was the worst of three, C4/5 and C7. My left arm hurts and I'm having pain at T1&2.

I'd better mention I also have Fibro. I can't function from being tired all the time. I tried Provigil but it was too much for me, I was so hopped up it was ridiculous. My Nuero has said before that I would be a good ADR candidate thats why he said no fusion for me.

I just need some advice, I can't believe I'll have to feel this way forever even with great meds. Its been eleven years.

P.S. wrote this the day the site was down.
