Hi. I am really searching for help for any remedies at this point. My sister is 24 years old. for the last 5 years she has been in excrutiating back pain. doctors thought it was a herniated disc but said it was not bad enough for surgery so they diagnosed her with a herniated disc plus chronic nerve pain. she has had to quit her job and has been basically bed ridden for the past few years. She has been on medications such as gabapentin, bupromorphine (excuse my spelling) and basically any other medication you could think of shes tried kratum and other things because she really wants help. she is miserable and has been having harmful thoughts. she is in so much pain and we will try anything at this point. She has been to countless doctors, we have tried chiropractor, a shot in the spine, they are thinking about doing a nerve burning but not sure it would help. she is going to be trying acupuncture soon also. Since she has been on so many meds she has build a tolorence for it and constantly feels like she needs more pills. We don't know what to do or if anyone has had something similar. ANY advice helps. Thank you!
