My back is bad.

[Bentleyboo]

Good afternoon everyone, the Sun is shining and I'm suppose to feel great but my back is really bad. I've taken more pain killers than I usually do just to try and numb the pain. My bones at the lower of my back are jumping and cracking when I move, they've been like that for a while but lately the pain has got worse.

I've been waiting to see someone for about 6months now after my MRI scan showed problems with my L3/4, L4/5 and L5/S1.etc. It's taken 20+ years to get something done. I've lost 3" in height and have double scoliosis plus problems with my facet joints, disc bulge, trapped nerves etc.

Has anyone any advice?

I'm so sorry! I can truly sympathize with your pain today! I'm fused at L5/S1and deteriorating above and below.

If you've been suffering from this for 20 yrs you need a ne doctor.

Hi Bentley, 

Ask your gp for fentanyl. As long as you're already on opiates. It's about the only thing left for your amount of pain. Also consider having a spinal fusion or decompression procedure. 

Good luck,  Sarah x

I Bentley please think twice about Fentanyl. Its been a nightmare for me and I'm now going through hell trying to come off it
