About 2 months ago i injured my back due to heavy lifting. The doctor claims it was a prolapsed disc which pressed against the sciatic nerve running down my left leg.
I’m going to physical therapy for it, and they have me doing all sorts of excersises, but I’m afraid that they aren’t helping as much as they should. Somedays the pain is gone, but on others it is back as strong as ever. I’ve been on painkillers and muscle relaxants which I found I am allergic to, so I am currently not taking any medication for it.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I should do other than not straining the injured area? I’d like to avoid surgery. Thank you in advance.

Did anyone have prolotherapy or cortisone shot treatments for a torn rotor cuff, if so can you tell me how it worked out (good or bad). I really don’t want any surgery and standard physical therapy only made it worse. I’ve have had it for years, but now the pain is so bad and constant that I need to do something.
My friend thinks she has spinal stenosis (it runs in her family.) However, she can’t afford health insurance and doesn’t know of any treatments for it. Is there any physical therapy she could do on her own? Maybe even a special diet? I will be surprised if anyone can answer this one!
I have a bulging disc and I’ve been through physical therapy. Now I am in the worst pain ever. Has anyone had this before and had it cured? How? I am desperate here!!! I work in an office during the day and wait tables at night and this is seriously interfering with my life!!!
My shoulder/neck muscles are so tense/hard, it causes severe headaches, pinched nerves and swelling/pain in my arms. The MRI shows nothing. Aside from every possible med I have used for pain/relaxer, I have used – ultra sound, chiropratics, massage, acupunture, physical therapy and warm water pool therapy.
Does anyone know of anyother treatments?
