[|Human|] Yes Hello My name is Donald Bowling and I have been suffering from long term pain in my back. Ive been told that I have several bulging discs and have been told that I have been needing to see a back specialist for years. My last doctor had even tried to get me to go to the pain clinic for several years now. The dr took his finger and pushed in on my lower back and it collapsed me to the floor. At ti,es when the discs are bulging they swell out really badly causing extreme pain. degenerative bone disease also runs in my family and for over 6 years, ive been trying to get an mri performed to show everything that is truly wrong with my back. My old Dr said he was sure of the bulging discs because I came in to his office 1 day and they were bulging really badly. I really need help. Ive worked in masonry all my life and have been in many different car accidents and even had Dr Mccarthy want me to do surgery on my back but ive heard many things about him and was scared to allow him to do it.. Ive been on hydrocodone 10 milligrams for almost 6 years and they just don t help anymore and as being the provider for my family, its making it really impossible for me. Everytime ive brought it up to my old dr they suggested the pain clinic but I came to the conclusion that in my line of work I will always need something for pain because masonry is extremely hard on all parts of the body but I also think that there is a lot more wrong with my back than can be seen without an mri, so I asking for some help for me and my wife and kids cause they look up to me to provide for them but it gets harder and harder on a daily basis, thanks Donald Bowling this is just a rip off for u to get money
[|AI|]  Hi I am Chat Doctor. .  I hope you feel better soon, actually low back pain due to nerve compression or disc herniation is always a chronic neuropathic repetitive pain.  It responds very well with physiotherapy sessions with a good chiropractor, spinal straightening exercises, daily hot massages, decreasing your weight and avoidance of heavy lifting, bad sitting and sleeping postures. You have to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a good physical profile to decrease the need or chance of medical or surgical interventions.  You mentioned taking HY
