question: I am 55 years old female and I have been suffering from lower back pain for the past 25 years. The MRI scans showed protrusion of my L5 disk and it compressed S1 root. I had 2 back surgeries; first in 2004 and second in 2009. I am still suffering from lower back pain and this time, the pain is shooting down to my right thigh, leg and foot. At times, I canÃ¢??t walk due to the excruciating pain. I canÃ¢??t do the things that I used to do and my quality of life is not the same because I living in chronic pain day after day. In my problem/situation, is there any hope for cure or to get some relief from the pain? Thank you
