I have severe ddd, no spaces between disc 8,7,6,5, an annular tear lower right side of my back. A reverse curve in my neck, no spaces between 2,3,4,5 with 2 chiropractors saying I have the back of a 65 year old man and I am 37, at the time I was 32 years old. I have tried every medicine now the VA wants to give me epidural shots in a series of 3 visits. what are your thoughts on what should be done with my situation/? sorry for a complicated case, but this is serious to me. I can't sleep, surf, go to the gym, or any of the activities I use to do.
