I’m sorry I am not familiar with your diagnosis so this may not apply AT ALL. Just wondering if a Spinal Cord Stimulator would relieve some of the pain.

thank you anyway.
What help from Doctors, imaging, physical therapy, or tests have you done?
Surgery should be a last option and you should not need to be in pain so much.
Gabapentin has helped me to sleep so I could heal bad back injurys.
i've had so many test. the sps I have incurable. the infusions I get has helped until now. i've had this for 18 years so I feel blessed. thank you for replying.
I use CBD cream and it helps ALOT with pain- lasts about 4 hours. I buy it online from earthlybody.com I order the Untimate Strength Cream. Let me know how it works or you!
