In Nov. 2003 I had a MRI done it showed that I had 2 herniated disc. I
went through all the injections (3 injections a week apart). Each
surgery cost about $12,000.00 and I might have felt a week or two where
my back didn't hurt so bad that I couldn't take. It started hurting so
bad again that I was ready to have surgery, but the doctor I want to do
the surgery wanted another MRI done. I had the MRI done in May. It
didn't show any herniated disc., it showed a bone spur and just stuff
from age. I found a pain management doctor that I was mainly going to
see for adhesion pain and all he wanted to work on was my back. Again I
went through some more injections and my back still hurts. I think the
back pain is from the adhesions pulling. I guess I'm just telling you
what happened to me. So just really pay attention to the pain with your
back and see if there is another type of pain that happens when you back
hurts. I have pain in the area of where my left ovary was really back
when my back hurts the worst. Good Luck and I hope everything goes well
for you.
