Hi,
I've just joined, so I may be a little late in this topic. But assume not too much, since it's still posted on webmd.
I TOTALLY get what you are saying. I am 37yrs old, and have had the EXACT same problems you are for over 15yrs. Down to the Doctors. I have found NO pain relief what so ever. Every time I go to a doctor, I get looked at as if I'm complaining. I have applied for Soc. Sec Disability and of course was denied-mostly, cuz they feel I can still work (keep in mind, only "I" know my body, but whatever. Atop that, i was told I was too young. So, gosh, there's something I didn't already know). I am still trying to figure out what to do. I've had a lower back fusion in 97'. Did no good. I've got type/grade 2 Spondylolthesis of lower spine, Degenerative Disc Disease, some "medical term" of Stenosis, Depression (and they wonder why), daily headaches due to neck problems, and I believe because of my current physical problems I have now developed problems with my knees, ankels and feet. My feet have ALWAYS been a problem, but of course Dr.'s don't see a darn thing wrong. YET, I don't get answers as to WHAT is causing my limitations??? Hmmm.... I have had a VERY difficult time estaining a job or finding one. I just can't keep up with the job requirements.
I know this may not help with your situation; cuz I haven't found much for answers either. Just know, you're not alone.
I've had the facet injections done-did NOTHING for me. I've had 3 types done. Also did the physical therapy, I too have a hard time walking, let alone physical therapy. I hurt so much daily. I have all the possible scans done; MRI, Bone Scan, X-Rays, etc etc. I've been put on pain meds; but as a single mother, I can NOT have a med knocking me out. I need to function. I've tried suggesting getting on Celebrex for joint pain-but was denied due to insurance. Which is dumb.
Good luck, and I hope we can help each other. Because I have found NO ONE else, with identical pain locations as I.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.View Thread
