I feel yer pain nemo.
Wish there were something I could do or tell you..
Everyone wants to try the non invasive crap till you almost are dead and finally after you have spent yer life savings doing all the stupid stuff they finall say, well, you probably need surgery.... Been there and done it twice now...
I am discovering that taking TWO Aleve together and TWO extra strength tylenol at same time provide relief from my lower lumbar on low rigt side. That's been operated on for a couple of hours before and it is degeneative arthritis eating me up here.
The other thing I do is to apply Salon Pas LIDOCAINE in ROLL ON all over that area heavy. That numbs it somewhat as well. The compbination works for about half a day. Repeat around 7:00 p.m. and then go to bed. Start over again in morning.....
It might help ya.
Important thing about Aleve. The stuff made in India does not work on me. If it was made in Mexico it actually gets rid of pain.. We just found that out.. The stuff made in INdia was like a sugar pill.
I went over to store and bought the made in Mexico bottle and am happy camper again....
Cannot explain it..... But it's true.
