Suggest Medicine For Back Pain With History Of Scoliosis
Hi,
I have suffered for 17 years with back pain, hip pain, all sorts of pain, I had surgery for scoliosis and they fused 14 of my vertabre after trying to insert a herrington rod, they hit a blood vessel then had to remove it so they fused instead. I was gardening for the first time in a long time this Monday and I woke up on Tuesday, with shocking and weakening in the back of both legs, can't turn or it happens, walking is difficult, sitting is uncomfortable, shock's are continuous when I am walking and severe when I get up from sitting. Any idea's I know the lower lumber region was degenerating but it came on suddenly the morning after gardening.
