Hi I was wondering if anyone out there had any advice...

I am suffering terrible with back pain and can harly walk. Its really getting me dowm. I have been to see numeros doctors, phyiso's etc and have all kinds of treatment from actupunture to massage etc

I have a hernia between L4 and L5, and i have a pinched nerve..which i think is as a result of that.

My hip is also fused to the bottom of my back.

Has anyone had something similar? Do i need surgery? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers

Hi shelly01 there not a lot to go on but i think you are saying you have herniated the L4-L5 disc whether you need surgery for this only a surgoen or qualified person could say

"My hip is also fused to the bottom of my back."

are you saying that your hip joint has no motion and that its stuck in one position??? if it is it must be affecting your gait terribly no wonder you are such pain
