    Back in December 2013, i started to get annoying back pain. I didnt think much of it, i was 18, so i put it down to still having growing pains. It got worse & worse, & the worst pain was the pain that would go down my leg.
    Anyway, i got an MRI done, my doctor said there was nothing wrong, but i wasnt having it, so i contacted a surgeon/specialist & sent my scans. He was shocked my doctor said there was nothing wrong. Turns out i had a bulging disk.

    The surgeon offered for me to get a procedure done (an epidural) which consisted of getting a huge needle into your spine.
    I got it done, but i didnt get any release from the pain.
    So i had to meet the surgeon about 6 months later, he sent me for a second MRI, & turned out i had a second bulging disk!
    He said it has a domino effect, in which after one goes wrong another could/will follow.


    I went for a second Epidural several weeks ago, it was a different type of epidural, inwhich they decompressed my nerves in the areas i had the problem.
    & Thankfully it worked! so for the first time in 2 years i can finally enjoy life to the fullest.
    I was never negative about it, i stayed as active & positive about it. The medication was always a temporary thing to me, thats one of the reasons the surgeon took me so serious, as i wasnt looking for an excuse to stay on the medication.


    The epidural will wear off in time, all i need to do is get it redone & get on with my life :)

    That's good to hear, man. It's often when we run into health problems that we realize what truly matters in life and how unimportant some things are. Sounds corny but it's true. Stay well.

    Bro I am so glad to hear things are finally going good for you. After so many ups and downs you've told me about over the past couple years I'm honestly proud that you've been able to fight through it all. Many people tend to give up when s--- gets thrown their way and that does nothing but make their situation worse. I'm happy to hear you are finally better and I'm hoping you continue to improve and stay healthy. Best of luck bud! @Creation

    Sorry I'm late to this dude, but I'm glad to hear you're getting better! You were probably the first member on the site I talked to and I've seen nothing but great posts by you. Hopefully this continues :)
