What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? wisconsin.last january i sprained my lower back at work.(construction) i had an mri,which the dr. said showed slight bulging in the bottom 3 discs and that could be just from my age(40). i did physical therapy for a year,which helped a little bit ,but i still have a lot of pain in my lower back,hip and leg. i went back to the dr. and he said he does not know what is causing the pain and basically said i would have to live with it. i don't know what to do next, i just want to not be in pain all the time.help.
