Yeah I hear ya. He said a single one would be manageable with a injection, he is just worried about the pain I feel on the upper lumbar. I do not want any type of surgery, or will allow it. It's just what I don't want to hear

Went through it 8 years ago. 2 torn and one herniated. Chiro will do nothing. MRI showed that I messed up bad. I gimped around for a while and couldn't lift myself with my left foot. Still have numbness in my heel.
Lortab was all that eased the pain for a while. I received an injection straight into my disc for the first treatment. I won't lie, it sucked. After that I began physical therapy to start walking right again. They used the simulators, stretching and workouts. It took a while.
All these years later and I still have some discomfort, but I'm pretty good. I'm afraid it will come back to haunt me again someday. Especially since I lift stuff everyday for a living.
Try to stay skinny, sit with proper posture, do your prescribed stretches, lift correctly and don't forget you aren't a teen anymore.
My mother had good results with decompression. Find out what's wrong then go from there. I hate it for ya man. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It was the worst pain I've ever felt and one of the lowest points in my life. I was only 26.

Most of my issues are in my upper spine. I had surgery in 2008.
I'm told it saved the use of my hands and arms by relieving damaged nerves. The pain however has done nothing but worsen.
I fought taking meds for the pain as long as I could. Even went to see a very highly rated surgeon back in January and was told that the pain can't be alleviated with more surgery.
I don't recommend being cut on, the fact that I agreed to even see another surgeon surprised those that know me best.
Bottom line, it's tough to concentrate or sleep when you have acute or constant pain. I deal with the public everyday, and being grouchy ain't good for business! So I looked for more help in dealing with it again last year.
Talk to as many doctors as you can. What works for some may not for you, but don't give up.

From L3 to S1 all mine is fused 16 screws 4 titanium plates.Try stretching deep tissue massage and not some spa house with happy ending.Sleep with legs elaveted Tens units work well.Wish you luck I know that ****ing back pain ain't no joke.
Co-worker had the synthetic cushion put in. They go in from the front. He was in extreme pain and was up and walking the next day after the surgery.
