question: I was diagnosed with s1-l5 nerve damage, annular tear from terrible car accident , degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis. This was 13 yrs ago. I now suffer from acute leg weakness, burning of entire pelvic area, all over leg pain and burning entire hip to feet. Extreme pain 24-7. Did all treatments...all of them.now on pain meds which I don't like side effects...feel like living double edge sword. Want off meds but it's the only thing that stops pain and gives me ability to walk. Desperate for another treatment plan, hoping after all these yrs there is another option for me. My life has been taken from me from this painful problem as well as the drugs side effects.is there a new treatment to help me.
