Your Back Pain News
I have a herniated bulging disk. I am in bad pain. Dr. said I need surgery. I don’t want to be cut on, yet I don’t like the pain. I do not like takeing drugs either. What can I do? Up date. Herniated disk is lower lumba . I have numbness in left leg extrem pain lower back and down right leg.
I start with my legs flat on the ground and raise them all the way up until they are perpendicular with my torso. I looked online and found out that the fact that I am getting pain from doing this could mean that I have a herniated disk. Someone help me figure out what’s wrong!!!
I am having very bad lower back pain. I have had an MRI and have seen two different orthopedic surgeons. The MRI has come back completely clean as they say. Doesn’t show anything serious at all. I went to PT for 2 months and the only thing that helped during that time was when i got a short massage at the end of the session. I am now seeing a chiropractor who also says he can help. I am going to him three times a week. I feel good when I leave but just a little while later pain comes back. I sometimes wish I had a herniated disc because at least someone could tell me whats wrong. Can anyone offer advise? Has anyone else experienced this?
I have had atleast two herniated discs in my lumbar region for the past year I have tried physical therapy and many other treatments in this time and none of them have been succesfull, I was wondering what are my chances of returning to normal activity with this problem.
I say atleast two because I only have MRI proof of those two but I have been having pains in my back inbetween my shoulders and in my stomach/ribs area. The pain is very intense and sometimes feels like I have been punched in the stomach.
Hi, before I get to the topic, let me give a little brief information about myself. I am 21 years old, have an amputated left leg (bka), for sinobiasarcoma on my left foot and been cancer free for 7 years.
Recently, around three months ago, I got into a car accident. I was in the passanger side, and the other car struck the driver side of the my car. I didn’t get alot damage or pain on my back. However, 2 months ago, my therapist doctor sent me out to get an MRI of my back I guess, and he told me that I have two herniated discs on my lower back. And I was stunned to know that because I usually do not get alot of pain on my lower back.. I am only 21 years old, how can this be? The doctor told me that he was curious to figure if it had anything to do with my amputation, or that it could have been for the cause of the car accident
If I have to live with this, is this dangerous? is it life threatening? is this going to limit anything of what I want to do? Can it heal? Will it prevent me from growing? By the way im 6′2′) Will I have any circumstances later on in the future? is it common? Will it prevent me from having normal sex?
I know this sounds illiterate, but please someone help me take a hold out of this. This is getting me scared.
Hello, Since i was about 17 i have been suffering from chronic back pain, which actually forced me out of school my senior year. I had a severe sciatica which was pinching the nerve so bad i could barely move. I walked really slowly, i coulden’t turn my head, i had to be homeschooled for the rest of my senior year. ANYWAY. i am 19 now, and it is better, i can move better, but i still have a nagging pain in my lower back that will not quit. I know i do have a herniated disc, and Degenerative Disc Disease. Does anyone know any therapy that can help aleviate the pain? Please let me know. Thanks.
My lower back has been hurting for about 4 months. I’ve gone to a chiropractor at my gym for help. Recently I experienced intense pain travelling down my right leg while I was on vacation so I went to the doctor in another country. He took xrays and said that one of my discs was touching another one (possible herniated disc) but when I came to America my regular doctor said that it may be bursitis and has scheduled me for an MRI and gave me muscle relaxers and steriods. I’m confused since the pain seemed to originate in my lower back and am wondering if being overweight brought this on to me. Any doctors or people out there who know what I’m talking about? Advice please.
I have been having lower back pain for about a year and a half now. I went to the doctor when it started and they gave me some meds and said it was my sciatic nerve. It still hasn’t gone away. Now it is lower back pain and pain shooting to my ankles. could this still be sciaticah or perhaps a herniated disc? should I go to the doctor again? Any answers from someone with a similar circumstance would be great.
