Back pain & Treatment -- it sucks.

Well, this sucks.
I just had my 1 month evaluation at physical therapy yesterday, and I have made _no_ improvement in regards to my back and neck problems. The only thing that's improved is the strength in my legs, which really haven't been a problem...
So now, my neurologist wants to start injections in combination with physical therapy, at least for the next month. I really don't want to go down that road, but it seems that this is the only road to follow. The physical therapist agreed with what the neurologist wanted to do in regards to my treatment.
And to top it off, if there's little to no improvement made by the end of next month, then they'll be forced to discharge me from physical therapy altogether.
If that happens, what should I expect for the next course of treatment? More injections? Giving up on everything and just deal with neck and back pain for the rest of my life and go to a doctor all the time for pain management?
any suggestions?![]()
