I was told about 10 years ago that I have degenerative disc disease. I was told to put ice packs on the area where there is pain. Has recently been giving me pain constantly for the past 3 and a half weeks. I have had an MRI on my back and am scheduled to have one on my neck next week. Then off to see a back surgeon I got a call from the radiologist concerning my MRI on my back. He says it is not normal, but doesn’t think that surgery would help me and says that probably injections and medication is what would be prescribed. I have been taking all sorts of medication which does not really take the pain away but only puts me in a zombie like state. I am so frustrated. There has to be a better way to live. Any suggestions?
