Spinal surgeon and did PT to no avail, which was dumb, because I can do those exercises on my own. Had a MRI and I need to have a nerve in my spine cauterized. The process entails 2 practice blocks to see if it works. If the first works, I have another two weeks later. If the second works, we then cauterize the nerve. I can’t have it done until school is over as I am a PE teacher, but we only discovered it via the MRI. Good luck! I have to get back in to see the surgeon again so that I can have the surgery/ procedures resubmitted through insurance, but am planning to have them done in July… so no experience to share on if they work for my similar pain. Also, I’m 42. While high jumping at ND, I injured my spine in the fall of my senior year in that exact spot when I landed on the bar wrong, so we think that may have already been damaged and that I did something that just set it off. Rehab was fine back then and I had been extremely active ever since. Good luck!
