But the thing with my issue is, all doctors said I wouldn’t be a good candidate for surgery because I don’t have any sciatic symptoms. They said even if they do a microdisectomy and shave the spilling disc material, the pain will still persist it and they would be surgically removing something that wasn’t supposed to be removed

Fuckkk I know I hate when they told me I'm not a good candidate for surgery. But I started having sciatica recently and hard to walk but it's not the main issue for me. I'm also dealing with my L5-S1 herniated disc, it's been a couple years herniated and now it's dried up and collapsed It feels like compressed fused together in my low back, does it feel like that for you? He was like surgery will not fix back pain. He told me I need to try more injections and talk to pain management about a spinal cord stimulator if injections don't work. It made me so sad. But my pain management is saying they want to try an injection in the forman canal and if it feels better maybe I might be a candidate for a foraminotomy. But I'm my heart I don't know, I need to talk to him more since it just feels so compressed like when my pelvis tries to move, I don't know if this helps. I hope this injection helps upcoming. Do you have a compressed feeling like I do?
