My back :(

Lindsey · 08-26-2007, 02:22 PM

Well I decided to go camping with my friends for the weekend. The car ride was NO FUN. My back was killing me. I let everyone else do all the setting up tents and everything and I just sat back and rested. But, after taking just 2 pills on Friday, I woke up Saturday morning with no pain at all!

SO glad you are feeling better Lindsey. I had trouble with my back last week and it is no fun. I sat with a heating pad at work all day Tuesday.

Lindsey, if you can go to a chiropractor, you may want to consider it. Pills only make it feel better, but don't really address the cause of the pain. Surgery should be a last resort and only if your are sure it will help. A competant chiropractor will take xrays and if you have had an MRI done, will want to see that too before treating you. A chiro does not want to hurt you, but may be able to help you after he/she determines what is going on.

I've had neck problems for years. An MD told me not to go to a chiropractor. They would only make me worse, but they are the only ones who are actually able to help me. I'll never be cured, but the chiropractor has helped make life much better. I had to try a few before finding one who consistently helps me.

Wish you the very best, and a pain free future!!

I think I'm going to consider a chiropractor before the same thing happens again. I'm going to have to go through my benefits and stuff to see if it's covered by my work!

I'm so glad you're feeling better!
I think it would be wise to see a chiro if you possibly can. They can do so much to help with back/spine problems and could very well help prevent another flare up.
Seriously, even if your ins doesn't cover it, they're not terribly expensive. I think it's $38 each time dh goes... since we don't have insurance right now.
