See a doctor.

I agree, but what the heck kind of doctor? Primary is not educated enough to handle pinched nerves. And when the Ortho tells you you are UN FIXABLE what do you do and gives you no reason? L5/S1 is collapsed, you can add in Peripheral Neuropathy. Pain is in the colon too.

I’ve had ALL the conservative treatments. All FAILED.

My Primary is out on medical leave and may not be back. Took me 3 months to find him. Doctors in the Memphis area are scaling back on Medicare patients and if you are Tricare Life they don’t want you at all. So much for taking care of our Ret. Military. Took an instant dislike to his Sub. When you live rural you don’t have the amenities a big city has. Water walk....duh our only ‘pool’ is for 1-5 year old’s wading pool. Nearest adult indoor pool is a 60 mile round trip over bad roads.

This crap nearly had me in the ER with 1 pill. Lyrica

I’m sleeping what little sleep I get in the recliner on a heating pad.
