Please don!t let anyone do anything more until you get a good Pain Specialist and the Dr. sends you for an MRI. I have a problem with a vertebra and at times I get a terrible pain that runs up into my shoulder. I have to go and have an epidural. I know that the pain you are having can be several different things. Just to be sure get the MRI.

That’s why I said see a specialist/surgeon. They know what to look for and how to order imaging so that it will highlight what they need to see to make a determination.

I’ve had multiple surgeries (both hips, two c-spine - among others).

Just because you go see a surgeon for a consult doesn’t mean you’re going to have surgery.

I’ve had so many needles in my spine that I’ve literally lost count somewhere around 120.
