    So sorry to hear you have been going through a hard time with your lower back Donna, really empathising having been going through lower back pain for the last year. I have a discu bulge at L5-S1 but similar the docs have said this can be quite normal and shouldn't be the cause of my pain really.

    I'm no medical expert on these things I'm afraid, but with sciatica in the past there is one additional therapy treatment that worked extremely well for me - almost like a magic cure when nothing else worked - a think called Bowen Therapy, It is very relaxing and safe, non evasive at all. Worth looking up maybe to see if there are any practitioners in your area, could be worth a try.

    I take a lot of vitamins and herbs that help just my general health, a good strong multi-vitamin per day, high doses of Vitamin C (1000mg-3000mg per day) and other supplements that can be good for the back and nerve pain are B complex (really really good), cayenne pepper, white willow bark and turmeric.

    Hang in there and really hoping things settle and you feel much better soon - I believe in God and that He will bring healing to our back trouble Donna, trusting Him with that.
