Have been suffering for almost a year, have at last started to feel like I had turned a corner. Have been able to lay on my sides in bed for the last few weeks with pillow between knees and it has felt amazing to be able to get some sleep at long last. Woke in the night with the sharp pain in disc area couldn’t lay back on that side, I’m now walking around terrified as disc area feels sore to touch, same as when I first did it, the thought of being in that amount of pain again is more than I can take, any advice please. I was on various meds but have bowel problems so had to stop everything except diazepam and naproxen which I haven’t needed for a few weeks now. The pain was so bad for so long I just can’t face it again. I couldn’t sleep for more than 2 hours a night for months due to being unable to sit or lay without agony.
