I have had 4 epiderals for my low back pain since July and I still am experiancing severe low back pain.  I currently live in Fairhope, Alabama.

I will advise you to do MRI spinor these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level.
