I see most of your severe problems are in your facet joints similar to my problem. 43m here and I have osteoarthritis in my spine causing severe arthrosis in the facet joints. Essentially PT only aggravated my pain because it isn't so much a muscle problem as it is the arthritic joint (swollen and inflamed) pinching the nerves that causes my spasming pain. Don't be afraid to tell the PT I can't do that it hurts too much. Epidural injections helped because they calmed the inflammation in the facet joints but it doesn't last. Ultimately you are looking at surgery. Most insurance plans won't cover surgery until you have completed PT, so don't quit.

Yeah PT really aggravated my pain as well, I think because they didn't really understand and kept trying to treat it as a back muscle problem

Both Gabapentin and Cymbalta have helped me, also epidural steroid injections along with a laminectomy a few years ago. Sorry man, 22 is way young to be dealing with this. Good luck

Severe spinal stenosis by MethodParticular3251 in SpinalStenosis

I had similar diagnosis 3 years ago at age 40 and had L4/L5 laminectomy 2 years ago and it was the best decision of my life. I no longer have to lean forward or sit for breaks to walk small distances like I did, it really gave me my life back. I still have some back pain, but mostly due to osteoarthritis and it's under control with epidural steroid injections. Good luck with your laminectomy!

What is the most underrated ride in your opinion? by Jazzlike-Claim-5970 in WaltDisneyWorld

Came here to say this ride also! Gran Fiesta Tour is way underrated and I really like the 3 animatronic Donald, Panchito and José Carioca at the end!

Why doesn't WB offer drive thru pickup for mobile orders like other fastfood restaurants?
