My husband gets pain injections he felt like you get us to having them. That after a while they stop working. That is one of the things I've heard lots about is after so long that they stop working. That is the reason I DON'T do injection for pain. It is only a temporary relief it doesn't solve the problem long term at all. I feel that is where you start to depend on it and addiction can play a factor into all of this. I only say this because of the classes I have taken...

Hi @A MyFibroTeam Member,
Your doctor could refer you to Neuro Surgeon or your physio therapist. Come tomorrow it's one year I was down on my knees with lower back pain, I couldn't walk, my left leg felt weak and was scared 💔

I rang my doctor she prescribed cocodemol and gabapentine but not successful. I went to see physio 27th August 2021 she referred to A&E for urgent MRI scan.. that's how my diagnosis of Spinal lumbar Stenosis came about. Legs are still not stable due to a nerve going down my leg. Back pain is going 😫

I would advise to go see your GP again. Sending hugs and healing blessings 🥰

I did injections for a year and they helped tremendously!!

@A MyFibroTeam Member
I agree with the above, and just be aware if that weakness and altered sensation (and worse) can become permanent if the problem isn't resolved.
Take care 😘
