Yeah I have two discs impinging the nerve on the left side and one on the right side. Have tried gabapentin and lyrica. Neither did much but give me side effects. Currently I see my spine surgeon, a neck and back specialist clinic and my pain doc who specializes in backs. The pain itself and the situation that lead up to surgery is the main driver of my depression and anxiety I believe, as does my psychiatrist. Now I'm just trying to keep my head above water. Trying one last thing before my last two options are surgery again and a spinal stimulator. I'm 36 and really am trying to stay out of surgery as they tell me they snowball after awhile. But some days are harder to keep positive than others.
