Still having pain in lower back

by wilber1959, May 16, 2008 04:39PM
In march of 2007 I had a fusion of the L5-S1 with no relief of pain. finally got another opinion and had a fusion of the L4-L5 it releived the pain going down my right leg but the lower back pain is worse. I beleive there is no science to medicine at all it seems to be a cut and hope thing. I am fed up with surgery I wish I would never had the first one. I live a life of complete misery and have just about had all I can take. My question is when the weather changes I can tell you 3 days before it is going to rain and I am practicly crippled to the point I can not get out of bed (could this be arthritis?)
Thanks,
Dan

Doctors who specialize in the treatment of patients with arthritis generally agree that many patients experience a worsening of joint symptoms with changes in the weather,Problem is arthritis affect many joint same time,not just lower back joints.
Perhaps lower back pain was due to soft tissue injury that surgery didn't help.
Take care!
