Finally after years of test and pain i went a different root i tried a chiropractor. This doctor took xrays looked at my MRI and saw exactly what is causing all my terrible back pain My spine is all twisted and torced he showed me the xrays. My pelvic bones a not aligned one is much higher then the other He showed me where the nerve is being cut off and he is giving me hope that finally all this pain will be relieved. Orthodics for my shoes and intense therapy who knows maybe ill be pain free physically one day. Ihave had this pain for over 20 yrs now on and off why did it itake this long for someone to see but i am grateful and hope this time the therapy of this type works. i have tried everything else from acupunture botox injections physio even chiropractor a long time agon. I hope this time it works as the pain drains the emotion part of me as well.

That's good news Violet. I had pretty bad back problems about 7 years ago that would have me in bed for weeks. I went to my chiropractor and he did x-rays and found my pelvis to be uneven and my tail bone bent off to the side which obviously caused the rest of my spine to be out of whack. I must have been walking pretty funny (hee hee "silly walks"). Anyway, it took a while but I think I have gone from throwing my back out 4 or 5 times a year to once every year, maybe 2 years actually. I use to go once a week and now I go once a month, except for lately. Anyway, I hope this Chiropractor can help you out, I understand how horrible back pain can be.

I'm glad to hear that, Violet. I know chiros get a bad rap sometimes and alot of people aren't convinced they are worth anything, but when I was 19 I couldn't be in any position longer than 10 minutes without ending up in excruciating pain. I couldn't do any physical activity at all and was taking a ridiculous amount of painkillers every day. I went once a week for two years - I was desperate to try anything at that point, and I ended up completely pain free and active again. I'm weary of the ones who claim they can fix everything including ADHD and bedwetting, but I do think they have some value for some people. I haven't gone now in 15 years but that initial two years pretty much gave me my life back. I hope it does the same for you. Back pain is no fun and sometimes it can be fixed this way.
 
i have had only one treatment go back tomorrow. I will go 3 times a wk to start I hope it works i have been in pain too long and it is only getting worse thanks for your responses.
