I am 31 i have had degenrrative disc disease woth secere pain for some time now. Last month i was lifting and did sometjing and its hard to breathe pain raidiates around my back and when i breathe it its like someone is stabbing me. I had n an mri done and it said the is degenration but progressiom of disc signal loss. Along with that there are protrudimg discs that are not compressing the spinal canal. There are protruding discs at c3-c4 c4-5c c5-c6 and a tiny protrusion at t6-t7 with compression on the thecal sac but not on the spinal cord. I do not know what else to do. The pain is so severe and functioing is becoming harder and harder. I just need some direction. I see a rain doctor but also they do is push pain medications and epidural injections. I feel l like all this does is a temporary fix and I because of the severe pain I am in I need different advice because the pain. Is so severe please help me.

Hello.       Please tell me more about where your pain is?  In my case the pain starts at the back of my head runs down my neck, and into my shoulders. This is constant, I have had this for many years, let's say I learned to live with it, but sometimes it goes between my shoulder blades,and just below in spot I can put my thumb on I get a stabbing pain. When this happens the regular pain go's in to my ribs. I have to people who have helped me greatly. Dr Gennaro, and my massage therapist Ken. Get back to me I will give you more information.

I am in the same situation.  No relief, been trying for 6 years.  Those pain doctors are horrible--they just want money I think.  I can't tolerate pain pills.  I can barely walk, sit or stand. Never leave the house except for doctors... I know how you feel.  I will  pray.
