Hello,
I injured my back Dec 27th 2019 at work and it has progressively gotten worse. I was eventually diagnosed with the disc bulge at L4 L5 with annular tear. At this point they have shoved conservative therapy down my throat as far as PT and I feel like it just makes it worse certainly not better. I Had the ESI a couple of weeks ago and had a rough time with it and had an uptick in pain since. My worse symptoms are low back pain, my left leg goes completely numb. Sometimes if I am on my feet a lot I will get the numbness and pain in right leg. I also deal with mid back pain and my left hand goes numb intermittently. I do have a disc bulge at T6 as well but they said they are not worried about it. Now I know people on here have dealt with a lot worse for a lot longer but I am just so over the constant pain and wanna know what other treatment options I have.Being that is a work comp injury at times I feel like I am having to put more effort to finding a solution to this then they will so I am very frustrated needless to say. Also in 2012 I had my spine fused at L5-S1 idk if that has any relevance. Thank you for your time.
