[|Human|] i have a crumbling spine and i have had injections in the past but they did not work for me, i am in agony with my lower back and my leg are hurting too now do you think i should go back to my doctor as the consultant has said there is nothing else she can do
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that in your clinical situation it is important performing some tests in order to evaluate properly the condition of the nerves, spine and vertebral column. For this reason, I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study and a lumbar spine MRI. You should consult with a spinal surgeon about surgery. If surgery is excluded, I would recommend starting amitriptyline or pregabalin for the pain. Holding a lumbar brace can be helpful. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards!
