yes,i have been dealing with back pain for 3 years now.ive had several mris in the last few years.i also am disabled now do to back problems.at first i had a cenral herniated disk,than 3 herniated disks,L3,L4L5,S1,also have a siatic nerve all the way from left hip down left leg.most recent mri no longer shows herniated disks,they must have disapeared, but now i have degenerative disk disease,and degenerative osteoarthritis of spine,siatic nerve trouble,fibermayalgia,and migraine headaches.my left leg also is messed up.my outer thigh goes to sleep often,and has shooting pain.my hips keep getting these painful "knots" in them. i also had an mri of my cervical spine,which shows i have bone spurs,and bulging disks,and straitening of the cervical spine.also, i forgot to mention, i have a tetherd spinal cord,and an abnormal curvature in my lower spine.but having said all this, i still dont know why i hurt? is it bad arthritis, because my disks lost water content and are disinagrating, or is it the straitening and curvature problem? i just want to understand what is going on, and maybe look for a better treatment option??
