Constant lower back pain, what else can i do?

We Answered:

hello, i'm 33 years old and a year ago i bulged 2 discs, crushed my spinal cord and did nerve damage. i didn't want surgery as risks are quite large and this was a personal decision. i wanted to try something a bit more conservative first, i had a spinal injection of cortisone and anasthetic. this worked wonders for me, although.....i do struggle with the way this injury has changed and affected my life. it does my head in sometimes!! i have built up the muscles in my tummy to support my back more and this has helped a little. i was really keen to get off all the drugs (including the ones you mentioned), i stumbled across a herbal pill (i'm not a crackpot and really didn't expect it to work!!!) and it works for me. it is called Nalgesic and you can get it from health food stores (it's very popular though and can be really difficult to get). i can only go on my experience but i hope some of this info has helped. please let me know if you want to chat more. alanna
