[|Human|] Petah Felton is ny name, I am 54 years of age, I have suffered severe .lower back pain for several years, I have some osteoarthritis, facet joint problems and bone spurs on L4/5 severe pain in both legs but mostly the left leg and weakness in both arms.  My mri shows my brain scan as clear and spinal chord is fine, I have taken several pain killers, but nothing helps have tried Lyrica didnt work either have had facet joint injections and trigger point injections but pain does not abate,  cannot walk up hills and have stiffness and spasming in back
[|AI|]  Thank you for the question. Unabatedpain may be heralding stopping all strenuous activity, like hill climb, weight objects lifting and forward bends. Some help from physical therapist for mild back exercises, massage and also lumbar traction for 10 days. If all this does not help then take clonazepam tabs 0.5 mg at bedtime and chloraxazone 500 mg tab twice a day after meals for 5-7 days. I am sure your pain shall subside with these measures otherwise surgical intervention would be indicated
