Has anybody experienced this??

by Spiritled2, Jul 19, 2008 04:35AM
On july 2nd  I had a disectomy on my lower back.  the doc said he removed all the pressure and i can't still be in pain.  The problem is i am still in the exact same pain before i had the surgery and to make matters worse my arms and hands go numb all the time, that wasn't happening before i had the surgery.  My doctor won;t let me go back to work or drive and its been hard.  I am single mom and need to be able to work, i am doing everything the doctor has toldme to do.  He gave me steroids to take and i took them but no results, is there anything anybody knows to do. I need relief from this pain and the numbness in the arms is pretty scary, i type and put in data into a computer for a living so what do i do??  Can anybody help me???
