Close Degenerative Disc Disease

in april 97 we had a snowstorm that was the heavy wet version. i was out plowing driveways for about 16 hours. most of which hag to be shoveled. the next day was the beginning of this long struggle for a cure. i have been to many chiropractors,acupuncture,pt, spinal injections.every anti-inflammatory. i have lately been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease,bulging discs from L1-L5. S1 is pinched.i am presently receiving steroid injections in my back and dedcompresiion therapy and massage therapy. not having the kind of results i am was expecting. i guess the next step is surgery simply because i don't think there are any more options. what do i have to lose at this point anyway. i can't work a full day no matter how hard i try. thats about it i guess. thank you for any feedback. barry
