▲ 3 r/backpain
2 MD’s on L5/S1 now a year after the 2nd one the disk is pretty much gone. Of course I asked for pain meds to get through life and was immediately shut down. They sent me for my 5th ESI which does absolutely nothing and they refuse to fuse the disk until in his words” I don’t have a choice””. I ask what am I supposed to do for this crippling pain that’s stealing my life away and he basically says suck it up. Life isn’t even worth living anymore in this pain. I have 2 herniated disk, facut atrophy and severe stenosis. The sciatica is unbearable and they refuse to help me with pain meds. It’s borderline malpractice
