Lower Back Pain Posted: 02-24-08 07:10am
Hi everyone
I'm Janelle just joined
this great forum and hoping for some help
/ advice. I have a bulging disc at L5
/S1, getting cortizone shots for it but
they are only holding a couple of days. I
also have very bad Coccygodynia, my main
problem apart from the unreal pain in my
back is that i have a tingling and
extremely painful feeling in my ummmm
bottom hole, just inside
Would anyone be able to tell me what it
could be caused from and possible
treatments. I can't walk sit, or just
about move without it trigging off.
Many thanks to you all for listening to me
ramble
Warmest Wishes
Janelle

Hello Jellie,
Welcome to this forum and the great people
who post and try to help others.
Jellie, from what you have described in
your post, in my opinion you need to seek
the advice of a neurologist/spinal
surgeon, and without delay.
Look for the best spinal doctor that you
can find. Make an appointment to see the
two doctors at the top of your list. It
is always a good idea to have a 2nd
opinion.
I hope you have told your current doctor
of your situation at this time. He/she
really needs to know what you have told
us.
AND do make an appointment with a
neurologist/spinal surgeon.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Rich
Thank you so much for getting back to me,
sorry i haven't replied sooner. i'm
currently seeing a muscoskeletal doctor
and getting cortisone shots and
accupunture but it's only lasting a few
days, as soon as I do the smallest thing
my back starts aching etc.
i'll see my Doctor and suggest what you
were saying, thank you for that and thank
you so much for your concern and your
prayers, that's lovely
