    Gwad ! I sympathize with you and the pain you're dealing with. Hoping you get relief soon.

    20 years ago I tried a chiropractor for my shoulder pain. Didn't work. Prescription anti-inflammatory pills did.

    A week before Labor Day I started to have hip pain. 2 weeks in I went to urgent care and it was diagnosed as a piriformis muscle issue. 2 months later the pain was getting intense! Sept and Oct were filled with PT,Doctors,Chiros,XRays,Topicals,Drugs(anti inflams/muscle relaxers/prednisone/Moms Vicodin/daughters oxy........) NOTHING HELPED and now its going down the front of my leg, I'm not sleeping and It's getting hard to walk. I ordered orthopedics. More XRays and then a MRI. Bulged Disc at L4/L5 and a pinched L4 nerve.

    I got a TFESI (Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection) Cortisone ​with lidocaine into my back. It was the most painful thing I have ever felt. Like being hit with a bat!!! That didn't help either. Now I'm scheduled for a Discectomy on Jan9. It's outpatient but I got to be put out and intubated. They clean out the canal where the nerve comes through the spine by removing bone and trimming the disc. Oh happy day.........

        Exactly...

        Do you live in a drug desert?!?

        For years now, I've been hearing doctors say, "this is a new painkiller...it's non-addictive. It won't make you drowsy and it won't get you high."
        Translation: it won't kill the pain. If the first thing a doctor says is "it won't make you drowsy," I don't wait to hear the second thing. I'm out the door to the next doctor. And the next.
        If that doesn't work, I can always see Julio down by the school yard.

        Merry Christmas everybody! I hope things work out.

          Rob, All the drugs I tried for pain relief didn't work. My wife gave me Tylenol PM to sleep and it knocked it down a notch. I'm now taking 4 Tylenol a day and the 2 PMs at night. It helps. My spine surgeon has me on Gabapentin for the nerve pain but I don't think it does anything.
