DDD, Spinal Stenosis, Bulging Disc, Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I am new to this group. Seems like there's quite a wealth of

information here, that's great!

I wonder if anyone here has had an experience similar to mine. If

you have, I'd love to hear from you.

I have degenerative disc disease (also present in 3 direct blood line

family members), spinal stenosis, bulging discs, and arthritis. I am

30 years old. I haven't worked in 2 years because of daily pain.

Although all four of these items have been confirmed on an xray and

an mri, I am told over and over that NONE of them are actually my

problem and I've been given the label and blanket statement " you have

mechanical back pain " . Apparently the docs seem to think that my

levels of each of these are in accordance with most of the general

population and are not of significance. But yet I live in pain every

single day for the last 2.5 years.

Any thoughts/experiences?

Thanks! Happy New Year!

Sweetie.
