@xxdebzxx I can totally sympathise with you on the back pain - I was given 1 appointment with a physio! Needless to say, that didn't sort it out! What my friend advised me to do is ask to be referred by your doctor to a back pain specialist. I wonder if that might help you get some more considered treatment. Also, find out about any pain clinics or pain management courses in your area.

Hello.. My disability is back & spinal related too so I totally understand the frustration u may feel. Various  Doctors/hospitals have tried a variety of things to help me but in the end they have simply settled with prescribing me with various prescription drugs & telling me that I simply have to learn to deal with it!! My disability  will never improve but instead will only deteriate in time so if I struggle on a daily basis now, I dread to think what the future entails!!
 You definitely need to get a 2nd/3rd/4th doctor opinions as alot of the doctors only gestimate what the problem may be & do alot of process by elimination! For many months my doctor was overdosing me (I was very lucky to have not had any seizures or died) so I know how important it is to simply not rely on 1 Doctor  (as seeing a different Doctor 1 day saved my life & stopped overdosing me)
