Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a series of spinal injections and a procedure to burn the nerves about 4 years ago. The back pain has been back for about 3 months now. I had a series of 3 injections then a different injection right into the joints. The Neurosurgeon wants to talk to me about a spinal fusion. I am afraid. But as it stands right now I cannot exercise or walk very far or stand for very long. I do OK sitting in my recliner but to sit in a chair outside I cannot handle the pain. I feel that I am just getting weaker and weaker. HELP PLEASE! Tammie
