HELP !!

[ARTeMis*]

Wonder if anyone could help !!, really am so utterly, utterly P**sed off with my lower chronic back pain, I really am at the end of my tether. It’s now close to a year of putting up with this and my life has changed so much because of it. My golf/cycling/football, playing with the kids and just general enjoying myself has gone out of the window.

I’ve had a ‘dodgy’ back for about 20 years (I’m 40), but when it goes (always at the base) I see a chiro and after a couple of weeks it’s back to normal (as normal could be!).
At the beginning of last year it just ‘went’ on me- off to the chiro but nothing, pumped myself with diclofenac-nothing. Referred to back specialist who would’nt MRI me. Paid for my own MRI, report said 3 bottom discs are desiccated and degenerated, no herniation or narrowing of canal (forgot name). Then sent for physio (tried to say I’ve done physio for years and it did’nt work), waited for three months went for physio and nothing. I have also been doing pilates for about four months.

When I wake up in the morning everything seems fine, but as soon as I start doing anything physical, and I am talking about standing for about a half hour or walking say a mile then the bloody thing starts It constantly feels stiff, stiff, stiff and like it’s about to basically cave in at any time. I have been doing loads and loads of core strength stuff but nothing. If I try and bend then I have to really think about how I’m going to get down there. I have now been listed for facet injections, specialist thought it would take three months, just had the appointment through – November !!!

I would love a normal life back, I am not overweight and I am 6’3”, any suggestions on what it could be or help or anything………..
