I have a wearing L5 lumbar disc. My doc gave me ibuprofen and anti inflammatory. Pain still there. what works?


Question by tahoesnow: I have a wearing L5 lumbar disc. My doc gave me ibuprofen and anti inflammatory. Pain still there. what works?
Three years ago i was cruz'n down a slope at about 25 mph. The grooming was even with soft powder on the edge. I started to head threw the trees to switch runs. Not being able to read the change in the snow, the nose of my board sunk into the soft. I landed stomach and the board went up and over my head from behind me " a scorpion". It was a hard landin! I felt a huge shok all over my back and legs. At first i thought i broke my back because i couldnt move for about 15 minutes. i never went to the doctor when it happend until last year. And till this day it hurts. Not all the time but when it does its bad. I bitch like a kid. I can't sleep on my stomach for to long because my back turns concave and brings bad pain all of the next day. I can't stand for to long, or sit as well. I have tried yoga, phis. ther..... so i finaly ask for something to help with the pain and he gave me 800 ibuprofen and anti inflammatorys. It doesn't help at all! Is this the normal perscription for this injury?

Best answer:
I also suffer from herniated discs, and there isn't too much you can do beyond what you have done. The ibuprofen doesn't touch it. Talk to your doctor about transforaminal injections, or some other steroid injection. It might reduce the inflammation and help with pain. That's the only thing that has helped me. It offers relief for a bit, which is better than nothing.

As for sleeping, it is best for you to sleep on your side in the fetal position with a pillow between your legs. It keeps your back in the appropriate position.

Yoga and physical therapy are things you should continue. Maintaining strength and flexibility is important. You can never let up.

A lot of times the pain in muscular and heat can help. If I'm active, I use ice after, otherwise it's heat. Lying on my back with knees up is generally the most comfortable position for me to rest.
