I have had 3 spine surgeries in the past 4 years. Some of my now back pain could be related to the back surgeries. The most recent surgery, this past January,2021, was a laminectomy. I had a spine fusion 4 years ago due to bulging disc. I had a cervical surgery 2 years ago. I have awful back pain when bending and I'm limited when walking as my legs are quite weak. I had the steroid injection hoping that this would help me, but as you read, it did NOT help. I don't sleep well at all. The steroid injection is the only treatment that I've had. I had MRI, Cat-SCAN, and x-ray ordered by Dr. order. He did notice that there was wear on the SI joint and that is the reason for the injection. I'm getting so very depressed in regards to this back pain situation.

Have you heard of or tried Myofascial Release Therapy?

Hi Kayeellen. I only found this Mayo Clinic Neuropathy Support site a few minutes ago. I live alone and have few visitors. I was wanting to chat with others who may suffer with various forms of neuropathy like myself. I was caught by you “getting so very depressed” because I too deal with depression. Some days worse than others. I generally do my best to ignore it but find myself drinking more and just pining away hoping something good will happen.
