I have serious back pains...?!


Question: A few years back i injured my back, i couldnt move for days. For some strange reason I didnt consult a doctor. Probably because i thought it wasnt that serious. Ever since then i get VERY bad back pains up and down my spine constantly. Any ideas what it could be/ what i should do?

Hi I have many back problems from a road traffic accident from a shattered disc at the base of my spine and other slip disc problems. I had been under a phsyio for 18 months at the hospital and nothing was working I then was treated by an osteopath at the same hospital who almost cured me over four weeks. When back problems start they never really go but wait to happen again which they easily do so be care full Mine have had me screaming in pain on the floor unable to move let alone walk. Hot & cold treatment helps the pain starting with two minutes hot then two minutes cold try this for half an hour finishing on the cold, also take some Ibuprofen helps every time as it relaxes the muscles in the body so it will ease the pain. If non of this works get to the hospital for an x-ray better still a CT scan as this shows up more. best of luck get well soon.

You need a chiro fast - go see your GP and get reffered you could be worsening any condition you have already got from the fall. Spines can degenerate over time. Dont end up in a wheel chair - phone the doctors today.

Sounds like disc damage or sciatica.
Make an urgent appointment with your doctor.

awwww hope you are ok :) well i not a doc but maybe you shoulde go see one as soon as pos between times if you got a back pad that you warm up use on of those and have a bath and plz GO SEE A DOC
hope you will be ok :):):) i will pray for you

probable slipped disk, needs checking out though if its not gone away by now. You need a scan!

sorry to hear this...it can really drag you down....did you know that on some weather channels there are aches and pains maps...try a hot water bottle...some ibropufen rub..eg radian b...stinks like mad....you will think that waino knows nothing he must be the village idiot..but it will help honest..try to keep moving too....and take care when its ok....make sure when you pick things up..it carefully...l have heard say that a back injury can take 2-3 weeks to show....from this you may be able to pin it down to something you did. a trip to the docs might be in order too...

That's why I tell people to see a chiro when they start having pain. These problems will come back later in life if you don't care of them now.

Try a Backtivator. It's a seat cushion that keeps the back muscles active when you sit. Easy to use, affordable and really helps.
