in Chronic pain and pain management
Hi everyone I’m a 37 year old male working as an Electrician had decompression surgery on my L5 S1 over ten years ago and then scar tissue removed 4 years ago I’ve Constant back pain and pain in my right leg rite down to my big toe. I’ve been going to  physios  for nearly 2 years now which only easy the pain for a few hours. Can’t sit Ly or stand for too long in the one spot. I struggle at work but being on the move all day does ease the pain. I’m waiting on another MIR. On my last visit with the Surgeon 2 years ago  he told me to go down the physio root and that he wouldn’t want to operate on me  which I don’t want either because since after the second op I’m back is a lot weaker. Has anyone got any advice out there to manage the pain.

    @adara hi and welcome to scope, you could ask your GP to refer you to the pain clinic at your local hospital.
