My wife is (edit) close to OP. Her back problems really bother her sometimes. Although yoga has helped. She desperately wants a reduction and loss of sensitivity is her biggest fear.The second is recovery time. What has your timeline of pain and ability to get back to normal been? Have any advice in general for someone just starting to go down this road.

Have you tried any life style changes or medical procedures? How has your road to getting professional help been?

My wife and I have been here. I know we struggled greatly for even a diagnosis and to find competent help (not sure if we ever did). The very short story is that while her condition was not as bad as yours, it magically got 90-95% better when she stopped taking birth control (about 2 months later). She had been on it or pregnant almost her entire adult life. Not a single doctor even thought hormones could be a factor and we were even talked into a risky medical procedure early on. If you have any questions from our experience or struggles or just want to talk feel free to PM me and I can relay any questions if I don't know them. I'd rather not share too many details here without her permission first and she's out right now.

I'm glad your husband has been supportive. I can't lie that it was a very difficult time our lives for our relationship. However supporting her was always easy because of how open we were with each other. If she had shutdown instead of being so open and inclusive of me I'm not sure how it would have gone.

Please be very cautions of any surgical options. 8 years later things are now great, but for a few years at least her condition got significantly worse afterwards.

In general I've never felt so powerless to help someone and I wish you and your husband the best in the fight!

If they didn't work because they failed under reasonable circumstances vs failure due to you should have maintained them then you wouldn't be.
