I have had Lumbar MRI, Sacral MRI, soft tissue MRI, CT Scan, XRay and bone scans with NO FINDINGS. No one can find the problem. I am in such pain that I can't hardly walk without screaming out. It feels like someone is stabbing my spine with an ice pick and I scream out. I am 43 and did not injure myself or anything. It started in Sept 07 and I spend most of my time just able to sit. I can't lay down very long due to the pain. I can't live on pain pills which is the only thing the doctors offer me for help. I have small kids and I can't spend my whole life sitting in a chair. I feel like I have a splinter in my spine that I can feel but no one can see. It's very low like just below L5. I had a lamenectomy in 2002 but the nuerosurgeon said it's not that. I feel like I am losing my mind because each test is all for nothing.
Five months and still no diagnosis!!
