lower back pain

[slick]

ive heard that works wonders for the muscle groups. lemme know how it goes, maybe i should give it a try

I certainly will. Right now I go twice a week. He places the needles and then hooks it up to a Tens unit to stimulate the muscles and also puts a heat lamp on you at the same time

Mine started last Jan...


back and forth to the Dr's and finally in Nov, they told me I have a ruptured disc. It ****in blows dude. Sounds like Distinctive knows all about this....


Tell me about your surgeries, Distinctive. I am most likely looking at one soon....

I have my first epidural injection scheduled for Jan 19th. It cant come fast enough. Im tired of pain pills.[/QUOTE

Epidural injection did not work for me. I had 3. Then surgery. The surgery made my back pain worse. I had fusion and a titanium disc replacement due to degenerative disc deasease. S5-L1.

This is the lowest point of my back.The trigger point injection I have every other month helps.

I hope that you do not go through a surgery.

Take a trip to Malaysia. Ask for Dr. Thor. He fix you up.

so, again for those who have had kidney stones, the pain was super intense generally? was it relegated to one side? and did the pain come in waves?

I had a kidney stone back in 2012. Started hurting as a steady annoying ache like pain in my lower left side of my back. First one for me. I thought it would be ok in a few days. After about 4 days I was laying in bed and it woke me up hurting so bad in my left kidney area that I thought my kidney was going to bust. I went to the doctor (didn't know I had a kidney stone at the time cause it was my first one). He said he suspected it and set me up for an ultra sound. Results showed nothing. To make a long story short I had that ultrasound, a C-Scan AND an MRI. All showed nothing. Within about a week the pain moved to my lower left stomach. I hurt there for 8 months (no kidding, no exaggeration) and finally passed it at work one day. I got that sucker out of the urinal and put it in a plastic bag. It was exactly the same size as a uncooked pinto bean. I took it back to my doctor at an upcoming appointment and showed it to him. He said it was the biggest one he ever saw that wasn't removed by busting it up. Hope that is not the case for you. I wouldn't wish that on anyone and I hope I never get another one. Good luck.

My pain from kidney stones has been in my bladder mostly. I've been battling it since the middle of February, which sent me into the ER early one morning. I finally made an appointment with an urologist for tomorrow morning, and I finally passed one this morning. At least I will have a show and tell for the visit. Maybe they will be able to diagnose what is causing the stones.

Not a DR but my wife use to pass stones almost weekly ... Looks like uric acid stone to me.

I suggest giving a chiropractor a chance, stretching, light exercises. You can't take back a surgery
My first surgeon told me there of a 85% success rate but a 15% chance the surgery would do more damage. I've had 5 surgeries and 12 surgical "procedures" because I lucked out with a home invasion shortly after my surgery, ****ED me up real good for 14 years, homie don't play that **** now

Mine was a dark brown color. Hac no "burrs" to it but was very rough along the surface. My Dr. Sent it out to be analyzed and it came back as calcium. Said the dark color was from it being inside so long combined with the dark colored liquids (coffee, tea, etc) I was drinking.

Best of luck to you.
