Ice Skating Back Pain

After years of just the normal back pain from too much work or sitting too long i went to walk our two dogs one a lab puppy one a very icy day in DEC and i fell. now for about a month or two before this i started to notice my back hurting more and more and it got to the point where i couldn't stand for long couldn't lift anything and the only time i did not hurt was sitting with my feet pulled up.

so when i couldn't work i went to see a ortho and he did some x-rays and didn't see anything so he then sent me for a mri. i went back 2 weeks after to get the results of the mri and found out that i have spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, bone spurs, arthritis and degenerative disc disease. i turned 28 in feb. and my doctor told me that i have the back of a 80 year old. he said he had never seen someone my age with a back as bad as i have. we have tried everything from lumbar epidurals to rest and braces, therapy this had been going on since Jan. and its now april. i go back to see my doc in 2 weeks and i think we are going to start talking about surgery. I'm really just ready for relief, i feel useless, i cant do anything. cant work, about the only place i can be and not hurt is in my lazyboy with my feet pulled up. - Matt
