Just having come out of back surgery for pain in the left leg, I know what pain from pinched nerves is like.
The Doc. does`nt want to do surgery, until the pain gets to an absolute unbearable stage, they want to have to go in there but only once in a lifetime, if possible.
I hope there is someway that You can find some relief.
It has been suggested to me to get on that "Medical Maryjhauana" stuff, well, back in the day, when ZI was doing such foolish things as smoking pot, whenever I got injured, it seemd that getting stoned, made the pain worser in Mine head.
Besides, evertime I took a few hits of that crap, I always had to have several beerz to warsh it down with, well, lets just say, I never ever wanna go back there, not ever. Whikkey and other stuff`d be sure to follow.
Over eighteen years and not counting, I can remember My last drunk, and, it war`nt a very nice sight.
