Am gonna lose my job coz of this slipped disc. I have a very hands on and manual job that involves lifting .

They already said after 6 months they can let me go , I am extremely mad I actually wanna scream me head off I can't deal with this it's a joke.

Injection didn't work at all and am back to square one ... pain in back me leg pins needles in me foot burning and numb all back me thigh and foot.

But I read today that it's degenerative L5/S1 with a mild disc bulge with a right S1 nerve root impingement.

Well it might be mild but I can't walk longer the 10 mons without having to stop to try and carry on and I how can I go a work .

I know people got it worse then me , and to be told they may not operate don't give me hope .

What more injections more painkillers for how long

Then someone tells me it be hard get benifit for this coz am not that bad

Well yes I am bad coz I can't do daily things I can't drive me car can't go a work . Can't even hoover my house

I feel am having a melt down really do. I never get used to this for goodness

Sorry for going on but I am at the end of my mind here .

Let me ask question if doctor gives me the strongest pain killer I can have and I do try go back to work can I do more damage ?

Don't know why am asking but I have to

    Oh Donna so sorry this hasn`t worked for you. The only thing I can add is my opposite side hurts from time to time and told this is good as the problem going back into my spine. Jessica is right don`t let this go.
