Hi Maypg, your response mirrors my symptoms and it pains me that someone else is enduring the pains and anguish I am. I am sorry you are suffering and I pray you will have a pain free night. One day, they will find a cure for this dreadful disease, but I don't think it will be in my lifetime.

Maypg & Dianne, I having pain in back due to RA , but I also have a herniated disc at L5. The suggestions you made are sensible short term solutions to the back pain. I am hesitant of have surgery and the dr. has me on generic Cymbalta and generic Lyrica. Both have cause major wt. gain. No diet is taking the lbs off, and I am extremely frustrated! Another too, will the insurance pay for this?
Talk about frustration!

Hello PattiHenderson hope you are doing well 😊! I had injections 💉 in the lumber and C-Spine and the person who was doing the treatment cracked my disc that cause me to have emergency neck surgery which I needed to get a C-Spine fusion. Just be careful in who does it and how 🤔. But you should first try acupuncture and water 💧 therapy before you decide the injections. Have beautiful morning.

Thank you pain is not gone completely but I am going to doctor next week so we will see what happens next

I had the dry needling on my lower back and hips. It worked for a while, then it would only last for the evening I had it done. I am glad it worked well for you, Toby.
