Hi I'm lorra I have lower back pain intense. At moment I'm having trouble with L2 L3 L4 L5 S1. Discs. I have a weight that feels like heavy on my bladder. I'm looking at more surgery. I don't really want as iv had2fusions and a procedure that didn't work at all. I had been on morphine for a year and a half. Oramorph too. I'm in a scooter to get around.. I can barely walk. Since coming off morphine. Tablets. Iv had nothing else to take.. I feel like I would go back on morphine. To help me with the pain. It messes with my head and thinking and I had lots of water retention. I know that's daft. To use morphine again. I'm lost really I'm waiting to see a neurologist. I'm not sure I want to as I thought neurologist were for your head. Can anyone tell me if the neurologist is helpful to them and I need meds. Help too

Sorry to hear you're in so much pain.
I'm waiting to see neurologist too and like you I'm not really sure why.
My Uro Gynae consultant has referred me. I have a lot of pressure down below too, in vagina, bowel and bladder.
Consultant says I have radiation damage which has caused something called neuropathy.
I also have the disc problems too but not as many as you. I fully sympathise, it's awful being in pain all the time.
At the moment I am taking a painkiller called Zydol which helps with my arthritic hips but not much with the pressure down below.
Have you tried that one? I think it's an opiate and doc says I must be careful only to take on worst days because it can be addictive.
Hi there
Thanks for that post, very interesting and helpful.
