I am a worker compensation patient with a condition called failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). Everytime I see that term, I think I have somehow failed when really I secretly blame my surgeon. The worker compensation case manager always makes me feel like I'm milking the system. I can't help what happened to me. I'm trying to get better. I heard there is a spinal stimulator that could help. Should I ask about this? 7 weeks 3 days ago 54
How do doctors decide what treatment recommendations to make for patients with a first episode of low back pain? I saw a doctor and got no treatment whatsoever. My husband saw the same guy for his backache and suddenly he's getting X-rays, blood work, drugs, and physical therapy. Is there some kind of bias against women or am I being overly sensitive? 7 weeks 3 days ago 43
I just spent $125.00 on an office visit with a physician for my low back pain. All I got was advice to stay on my feet and active, a brochure on low back pain, and a boot out the door. Does this seem reasonable to you? Not even a prescription for pain relief. 7 weeks 3 days ago 48

I've given up on trying to get pain relief from my back and leg pain with massage, cold, heat, acupuncture, and exercise.

What can you tell me? 8 weeks 2 days ago 49
