Yes I’ve had injections in my back and it’s really helped sometimes it last for months. The weather has a lot to do with the pain that I have. When the weather changes and the storms and rain it’s going to flare up

I’ve had lots of tests and now it looks like I’ll be heading towards surgery. Either a lumbar fusion or a lumbar laminectomy. I’m getting 1 more dr’s opinion before I make my decision.

👍 👍 👍 Interesting! I'll have to see if they could do that with my neck!

It’s hard to explain exactly but the dr makes a small incision in my back to get to a bone then pierces the bone to get to a nerve to quarterize it.
