Re: Re: severe pain after L-5 S-1 diskectomy - Bennie

[Guest guest]

You know, Bennie, I wonder sometimes if the epidurals that I had (5 total) have

made me worse and not better. I had 4 done before back surgery and then when

the pain returned after back surgery, I had 2 more done.

My pain doctor doesn't believe in pain medicine and only wants to treat with

procedures. I have finally found a rheumatologist who is treating me through a

variety of medicines and changes in diet.

I wonder sometimes if I just made things worse agreeing to the epidurals and the

back surgery. I'll never know!
