Lower Lumbar Pain - On 5th Doctor no Help
Spine Health | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (16)Comment receiving replies
I had the same thing happen to me. Very active and had an MRI which showed degenerative disk disease in my L4and L5. I had lots of lower back pain which started suddenly and numbness and pain in my left lower leg. My doctor said we could try the Intracept Procedure to see if it helped. I had this done on November 26, 2024 and in the last two weeks I’ve noticed less pain in my lower back. I am finally able to start doing more things. Has your doctor suggested this procedure? I know that not every doctor does it. Some people have had complete recovery after getting this done and it’s covered in full by Medicare. I went to Canyon Pain and Spine in AZ. Retired here also. 66 year old female.

Something to look into. I have pain in the lower back for the past four years. I had a MRI that's shows arthritis and problems with my L4 and L5. I had 6 procedures of numbing injections plus the Vertiflex procedure also the doctor drilled into the backbone and burned the nerve leading from the lower back to the brain. Nothing has worked. Planning on going to the Huntsville AL. Pain and Spine Clinic to see what they can do. I will be mentioning this to them. Thanks for the information.
