chronic lower back pain from muscle adhesions

I have been suffering with lower back pain due to muscle adhesions for the last six years this is because of a motorcycle accident that I was in.  I fractured several vertebrae in my back which caused me to be bedridden for a few months and that caused several muscle adhesions and internal scarring that didn't heal properly .   Nothing I do has helped.   I have literally tried everything .....if I hear one more doctor, specialist or chiropractor tell me to do physical therapy I'm gonna lose my mind.  Over the past six years I have regularly done physical therapy... stretches...bought a tenz unit...inversion table.. heating pads...back braces...orthotics.... you name it I've done it.   Everyday of my life I am in pain my back hurts all the time.  By the end of the day sometimes it is so bad I can barely walk.....it's tight ...stiff ...sore ..inflamed throbbing.  Six years several hundred doctors visits and thousands of dollars later there's been no change.  I just thought maybe I could ask one more person if they had any ideas what I could do.   I literally cannot continue to live my life like this

Rayray113073 So sorry to hear that you are in such intense pain. Curious if you have found any relief since posting on this forum?  My son has been dealing with lower back pain for 10+ years as well. If I didn't know better, I'd think he wrote your post as I have heard him say everything you stated after "Nothing I do has helped." He is so fed up with Doctors and repeated states, "I don't want to live like this."

Have you discussed the possibility of scar tissue removal? It's not often done but in cases where significant scar tissue is an issue they may consider it.
