extreme muscle compression
by Dee41, Jul 08, 2008 08:17PM
For a yr and a half, constant back pain and down both my legs, the pain never subsides, ever. I do have degenerative disk problems, though orthorpedic dr cannot help or will not. I cannot do anything, clean the house, showering properly, shaving legs, brushing my teeth, walking, standing for more than 10-15 mins, crouching to get in the car I hit my head on the top of the door opening cause I cannot crouch, cannot be on my knees. It feels like the muscles at the back of my legs tighten to the extreme I want to cry, and I do at times, its that bad and hurt it stops me moving, little movement stops me in my tracks, HELP ME Dee41

I would strongly recommend that you see a local neurosurgeon quickly for a second opinion. You may need microsurgery for those disc prolapses especially the one at lower back which is possibly causing nerves compression. DON'T need alternative med. That does not mean that you do not have pain, it just means that there is non alternative med that will be able to successfully address the problem.
