Living with Back Pain

Hi,
I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc and joint disease, bulging discs, bone spurs down both sides of my spine, crushed tailbone, spinal stenosis and something else I don’t remember, and the MRI said my condition is severe. I do not take pain pills other than 3 ibruprofin in the morning which really doesn’t do much anyway.

I am in constant pain all day and I sometimes cannot walk across the floor because of sharp burning pain in my lower back. Sitting gives me sharp burning pain in my middle back and my neck is constantly feeling like it is out of place and needing popped. I have a few ribs that stick out of place on my back as well.

Im 48 years old by the way and female. When I was going to a neurologist they stuck me on Vicodin 10’s, 4500mg of muscle relaxers a day and naproxin but I stopped taking everything on my own. I have gone through 6 weeks of physical therapy 3xs a week and it didn’t help.

I get shooting pain in my hands and legs with numbing in my feet and hands. There are times I cannot even hold on to a sack as my hands feel tired and cant do it anymore? I wish there was some miracle in this world so that I could walk around the block, exercise and get back to my old size because I try so hard to move around a lot and get some exercise but OMG it hurts so bad…Walking in a department store with the lower back pain that burns with sharp pain, I just want to stand and cry in the middle of the store….
