Degenerative Disc Disease

Well they got me on 1800 mg a day and i don't think it helping because I have always had good and bad days and most days are pain almost to actually unbearable all day long. They are going to up my pills to 2700 mg a day ( that's as high as I will go)and see where that goes but I have been like this so long who no relief I don't see that helping.

I have lost 32 pounds and will keep on plugging away at it in holes that will help but again I don't expect it to because I was like this before I gained the extra weight.

I have not done to much research yet because I just found out today that what he wants to do once and if I ever am ready is called a gill procedure without fusion. So no fusion because I have little to no actual back pain and just the pinched nerve pain from my *** to my ankle lol

I have been like this for ten years and as I said before countless hours of PT and spinal Injections and different meds with little to no relief. So I'm going to give it until the end of the year and if not better I'm going to get it done and see what happens. I will give the meds another few months and then they are out of here if no help.


Hope this is readable seeings I suck at typing on a big screen and this phone is worse but auto correct is sometimes a nightmare also.
