I saw pain management doctors and had a nerve stimulator placed in my back but it made me worse and I had to have it removed. I worked with the nerve damage for 3 years after the accident and was told keep at physical therapy but it hasn't seemed to help it. I've done a little research saying rest and heat and not so much go go go will help it with time. I just don't know how to cope with it now let alone work

It sounds like you have seen a lot of doctors and tried different treatments without much relief. Have you thought about seeking help at a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic? Just wondering if it might give you other options. Did any of the doctors mention nerves being compressed as part of the problem? There is another discussion that some members have found helpful for various conditions dealing with nerve compression.
