I have had bilateral buttocks pain/numbness for 1 year with no relief from Motrin 3200 mg/day and tramadol 50 mg bid. I have had several MRI's which show degenerative disc disease at L4-L5 and L1-L2. I have had marcaine injections and botox injections into my piriformis muscles and I recently had a steroid injection into the L4-L5 disc space with no improvement. I have had PT and acupuncture with no improvement. The only relief comes from wearing a TENS unit on my butt. It hurts to sit or lie down but I have no pain standing or walking. I also have very brisk patella reflexes. I am at my wits end with the constant unrelenting pain. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gagy
