We have an inversion table at my gym.
I'll let you in for $5/30min a visit.

Your best course of action is to do the therapy. It has the most evidence behind it's effectiveness and surgery is not even an option unless you fail therapy.
Steroid shots are only temporary relief, six months maximum. And a lot of people just use them so it's easier to get through therapy.

I'm scared to even ask, but what doc did your attorney send you to?

Age plays a huge factor in surgery selection.
More times than not I'd've had a fusion patient come in with pain shifted slightly above or slightly below the fusion point.
The spine is made to be mobile. When you take out articulation points by fusing them together you will have trouble. Maybe not immediately but at some point down the road.

6 to 9 months if you have a fusion
A simple diskectomy is a much shorter healing time

Ask for your MRI film and go get a second opinion from a reputable neurosurgeon

I like when patients have injections. It gives us a window of opportunity to strengthen spinal stabilizers and to educate patients. By the time the injection wears off the patient has fixed the underlying musculoskeletal dysfunction in many cases.

No. Good attorneys don't always recommend the best docs & if that's where he found this doc I'd get a second opinion
Good attorneys want their clients to get better so they recommend good doctors. Bad attorneys, not so much.

That's what I'm worried about. I haven't been doing anything strenuous and using proper techniques for everything, but I can't even lift my kids for more than a minute at this point. I don't want to do anything to exacerbate the problem any worse than it already is.

About 5 years ago I hurt my back lifting a sofa. took a couple days for the pain to really kick in but when it did I could not sleep would wake up at night in tears.
Had mri and found out I had two bulging disk in lower back. after a year and a half or PT and three epidural injections and so many NSAID's that I now fight gastritis I can function but still have pain at night and sleep on heating pad a few nights a month
what really gets me is everyone seems to think you are full of it when you say you have a back problem

Who's the best back doc in BR that you went to?

McCarthy at the Bone and Joint clinic (which has a name that sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Sadly, it was not.)
The NP that saw me today was cute though.
