Facet Syndrome?

Hi, I am a 39 year old woman who has been diagnosed with the SI Joint Syndrome and Facet Syndrome with Degenerative Disc Disorder. My physician tells me that I am in stage 3 and there will be one more stage, which is stage 4 with complete immobility. I have had physical therapy with the epidural injections and am in alot of pain still. I don't want to take painkillers. I don't like that doped up feeling but I am at my end with trying to deal with this. I was born with a birth defect where my hip is actually higher on the right side and pushed out some. To the naked eye it's hardly noticable unless you look closely and I have developed severe bursitis in my left hip as well as complications with my neck and my left hip. On top of that I have osteoporosis and am concerned about what my next course of action should be. I have a bony growth that has developed as a result of the friction on my lower spine because it's almost bone on bone there. Any advice from a professional??
