Low back pain & neuropathy issues

I feel your pain...literally! I am 63 (in a month) and I also suffer from chronic pain. My lumbar and cervical spines are in real trouble! At one point I stopped walking for over 2 years because of the pain. I also had severe, I want to die pain in my left arm to fingers that came from my cervical spine. I went to a pain doc who gave me a shot. The shot was the answer and thankfully it worked for years!
As for my lower issues, I saw 4 docs. They all tried lots of things that didn't work. Three years ago I moved and went to one doc who was good for nothing. I searched and searched and finally found a pain doc who is about 1-2 hours away (because of traffic, it can be longer). He has worked MAGIC on my lumbar spine!. He uses a fluoroscope to find the sweet spot, based on my MRIs and what I tell him. His shots usually last 8-12 weeks if I behave.
I agree with Jim. You are too young to be homebound. Do some research in your area for a good pain doc. Read reviews by patients and other docs.
A couple of sites you can use:
vitals.com
Zocdoc.com
nationalpeerreview.com
WebMD.com
ratemds.com
Hope this helps.

I understand! If they can do that in little old Greenville, SC, I would expect they can do the procedure where you are. If not, call a Greenville doc and you can use my couch while you recover. I am not a nurse, but I know how to order pizza and make coffee.
Parus this is why I use alot of holistic meds We have to be proactive in our care ,so many here have said use herbs,homeopathic,Tens unit,chiropractor ,what works for one won't for others so it's a trial and error we have to do. One thing I like for pain is Arnica ☕ it's great at relieving pain .Get it at Rite Aid only place I,ve found it.God be with you .
I wish more surgeons would use cadivrer bones ,they are all natural and the body will accept them Artificial joints aren't ,the body will react negatively to them
I'm so glad you found something that helps.I go monthly for (lubrication of the joints) haha

A lady who had experienced chronic back pain for a bunch of years had surgery to put two cadaver(human) discs in her back to replace two she had that had failed (I guess the medical term is ruptured) instead of artificial ones and she is feeling wonderful.
