I've tried it all. In a week or two I see a pain specialist at the VA. he has helped me a lot. He stopped the Sciatic nerve pain by burning it. I think he talked of doing the same thing in lower back at the base. I fell out of a helicopter and my cossix and tail bone and lower disc too a beating, on the skid and then the PSP. It put a fine crack across the cossix. Day after day night it is constant pain including the disc in neck and electricity aling shoulders , dead pinkie finger and muscles in hand and wrist and along left arm and constant tennis elbow. Right is getting involved. VA won't fix anything. I've found an outside who did independent emg on neck back and arms and hands. It wasn't a pretty picture. I hope they can fix the disc and solve some problems. White cell count is up at ever check. That and the constant itching and fogginess and exhaustion have me worried to when I'm alert enough to worry. It may be too late.
