2 Get MRI and then see a DO/ Surgeon ( Dr of Osteopathy see a surgeon thats a DO ok)... DID that last 2 surgeons stated wont do surgery, as will not work HVAE UPDATE SEE post at end for 3/20/16
3. They try injections in back... If that works good for you... 5 sets under live xray ... NO HELP (sad)
4 They also try burning nerves if that works good for you... Havent tried yet, never discussed with me, been mentioned as a procedure but not directly for me
5 Surgery if it will work for you and or Pain Management if you need meds. SO far not an option
6 Somewhere in there you see a urologist will tell you from ur back injury... Saw 2 Urologists .... refered back to a Back Dr.
THANKS,

Scot - Update on 3/20/16...
Well you all have seem to read my huge post with all the issues. As of last week I went to another Dr. to get another look at me because I can not take it anymore and just hoping somebody can do something... Well I got a lil hope from this one.
Had an exam done again, and the Dr. also checked the groin for the pain to testicles. He does believe that the issue is from a nerve that goes to groin and testicles. ( I and everybody else know this already but they dont do anything)
During groin part of exam, Dr is telling me that I have inflammation along the groin area. (when he pushes on it pain is a 9+) SO what do they plan on doing I wonder.... for the 9 Millionth time !!!???
Okay in laymens terms this is the plan. He wants to inject my messed up discs and slightly inflate each one (disc) and see which is causing the pain to groin and back, basically troubleshoot each disc.
The thought is if the disc is hitting the nerve and causing pain, then if you make the disc slightly larger, then the pain should also go up, this actually makes sense for once!!! If we figure that out we will do a Facet Injection on the appropriate disc or discs.
After those injections we will also get some groin injections that will help with the inflammation and the pain.
I have already had 5 sets of epidurals under live xray in the past with no good results, they did not help at all.
OK Please wish me well on this, I dont know exact date that we are doing this but it is expected at the end of the month
______________________
Refresher of past
Seen probably 8 Surgeons and DO, and have seen many other Doctors for diagnosis, Have yet to actually get a term or name for issue in 8 years
5 MRIs Countless Xays
5 sets epidural
2 Urologists, also 2 Ultrasounds scans on Testicles ( all ok referred to Back Dr.)
Test where they shock you nerve latency? Had done 4x unknown results
Chiropractors ( will never go back tried for a month)
Accupuncture, TENS, Cryotherapy, Physical Therapy, Massages, Back Braces, ect. ( none of these work, may get temp relief for 15 min if that)
I stretch at home as I get better results than the above.
Med that I get put on.
Lyrica 2x per day ( Helps a little)
Pain Killers - Roxi Only way to bear it and I hate them.
Prednisone- I have to beg for this, I love it as it get some relief but Doc hate giving this.
Aleve, Tylenol, Ibuprofen... I actually get best results when you take 500 mg Aleve and 500 mg Tylenol Together !!!
And if I end up in the Hospital because of Spasms so bad I cant even breath then you want TORODOL, this is a wonder drug, but you cant take it as it blows out the kidneys, amazing stuff better than a pain killer anyday !!!
