i've lived with back pain since the 6th grade (car accident) I then broke it in September. I slept in a back brace for two monthes. (every second vertebre down my back) and I never got a dime. I also have a desk job, which sucks even more. And I drive an hour to and from work daily, which doesen't help it EITHER.

No good living with back pain.
But we all have it.
It's a generational thing maybe. who knows.

ya but an MRI is what shows the severity of muscle damage is it not?....I had a sore shoulder for years and the doctors kept wanting to inject it with steroids, and telling me it was just strained.....I insisted on MRI, got it done and it showed a tear in the muscle.....can only be repaired with surgery....yay I go in for surgery on June 25th.....no more shoulder pain for me!

i've had lower back problems for a long time. most of the time i can deal with the pain but sometimes it's just out of control. I constantly have to bend over to pick up my kid which is not making matters any better, only worse lately. i've thought about seeing a chiropractor, but i'm a little skeptical. does it really work?

how did you get the mri?
ive had a couple of bone scans for my shoulder, and i saw a surgeon but he said that i had a bad shoulder, and would just have to always deal with it. (i started with tendonitous, then i strained the bicep, tricep, deltoid, and pec, then i seperated my shoulder.... and i continued to do sports.. my own fault i know.)
anyways, did you just demand it from your regular gp?

oh sean, take care. my back hurts, but its from my own fault of not getting it checked out\going for physio. and i am 100% positive its not close to your pain. yowsa.

some say yes, others say no.
i think its depends on who you see. personally i dont believe in them becaue they tend to put your back into the text book position, and most likely naturally your back isnt meant to be text book. but there are always exceptional doctors out there, just takes time to find them
