Yes, it could be herniated disks....5 years is a long time.
I have herniated and bulging disks when a large heavy medal door
was closing and my high heel got stuck in the silver wedges
on the bottom of the door...and it actually closed so hard on
me that if loosed my high heel and wham, I hit the floor.
The pain was unspeakable...like what you are going through.
I have been getting epidural shots ever since to control the pain.
You need to go to an Orthopedic Doctor....he will have a MRI done on your back and other tests, and give you some pain
medication,until he determines exactly what it is.
You can go on line...type http://Medical.JustAnswers.com
and put what you are going through.....they could give you some answers also.
I stress again, Orthopedic, or Orthopedic Surgeons to be seen..
If you do not have the money, go to a different hospital, that has Orthopedic services. The state and government give
the hospital money for people that do not have it.
They call it Charity Care......they will be paid. No one can
be turned away, if you cannot pay. Just tell them, you cannot pay and please put you on Charity Care.
Wish I could help you more....I know, my legs were shaking also.
When you go to bed, put a pillow between your knees, that will help a bit.
Good luck. Sorry your parents have not helped you.

I would suggest going to a chiropractor. That might help out. I go to one when my back starts bothering me and it helps out a lot.

Get an MRI done of your lower back, and go see an orthopedic. They will be able to see the disks on an MRI. I have a herniated disk in my lumbar column. Its only a mild herniation but it is extremely painful. I had to have an epidural steroid injection and it hurt really bad, but theyre supposed to help. Ask about getting one of those too. good luck!!! Im so sorry youre going through this!

Yes you might have a herniated disc but you may also even have a spondylolisthesis...hmmm its better if you go to a doctor and ask if he could recommend you for an x-ray or MRI, that would be the best tool for us to check both....you also need to go to a physical therapist for a full evaluation of your back..
