I have ddd had it now for some years. I had a bad car accident 8 years ago now and have wondered if that triggered it off.
I get pain across bottom of my back and down my left leg. It has swapped legs as used to be my right leg.
I’m on amitriptyline and co-codamol as and when it’s bad.
I haven’t been offered an op as my GP said it could be dangerous and could result in wheel chair.
So I just manage it with pain relief and exercise.
@chrissie1960, so glad to hear that you did not have surgery. They no longer recommend surgery for me either. I take Cymbalta & Tramadol and they both help, though not as much as I would like. I have thought about asking for an update to replace the Cymbalta. Do you think that amitriptyline is effective? Blessings! ❤️
