hello im sixteen and i found out that i broke a piece of bone off my spine. turns out it didn’t heal right and instead of connecting back to my spine it fused into the scar tissue around it. after a test my doctor said that it was old and wasn’t going to heal rather it will stay where it is. he said basically for example it could like 3 months old or even two years old. and i have dealt with the lower back pain for about six weeks. do you think that surgery would be an option, because he recommend that i get an injection into my spine to make the pain go away.
what is this injection?
if my fracture is old why am i getting this intense pain in my back and side all of a sudden?
im doing physical therapy, do you think that will really help me?
what can be done about this. the only meds im on help me sleep but during the day i just cant take this freaking pain anymore.
can anyone help me out here??
thanks in advance.

I’ve have had a herniated disc for a little over three months that is accompanied with severe right leg pain. I’ve been to physical therapy, had steroid injections, took medications, heat, ice, etc. Nothing has helped the pain and I can’t go to a chiropractor.
Over the weekend, I re-injured my back vacuuming. I couldn’t move at all for hours and have spent the rest of the weekend in bed / in severe pain. I going to make an appointment tomorrow but they don’t really help me. I need relief and no one seems to take me seriously because I’m only 18, and all of this is really making me feel depressed. I can barely move without pain, am no longer able to exercise comfortably, etc.
Do you have any advice as to what I can do next, if anything? I Need Relief, I can’t go on like this! Thank you.
