Hi, I’m a new member. Have suffered from lower back and sciatica pain for over 10 years. Have tried physical therapy, epidural injections, Surgery (laminectomy), acupuncture and BCD, and most recently more PT with class 4 laser treatments. None of these has helped. Afraid I have to live with pain for the rest of my life.

@seattle579 Hello there, welcome. Thanks for joining the conversation about chronic pain. You my friend, are not alone. 10 years is a long time of having chronic back pain. It sounds like you may be coming to acceptance, which is such an important factor in moving forward to find your best quality of life. Finding a plan and path forward as to how you are going to find the best quality of life, given your circumstances, is another big step.

Do you mind sharing a little about your daily routine and what self-help tools you presently use?
