Constant back pain

yeah, that's true. you may be "barking at the wrong tree." i am not being mean or rude, but ilse72 who is a R.N. said it all. see a doctor at once...it's hard to presume or suggest something about health specially online. better yet seek the doctor's advice innediately before anything else happens.

yeah, your are right isle72. we are not in authority to give statements regarding wraithstriderwife's condition. she may be "barking at the wrong tree." better yet the earlier she goes to a doctor the better. let someone who is more authoritative can give her the answer. and that's seeking the advice of a medical doctor. constant back pain for 3 months? how dis she cope up with that without consulting a doctor? what i know massage could be more harmful if pain persists to be there.

i'm currently taking neurobion tablet, a medicine for nerves, my friend told me to try it, good for back pains. i'm taking it once a day. there are days that i'm not sufferring from that pain, but sometimes it still hurts. i don't want to go to a doctor, i'm afraid. but i will try to go one of this days, because i think i really have to. thanks alot for your concern my friends..

hi! thank you so much for your advise... i will try this & come back to you if theres any results or changes.. god bless!

wow, i never really have thought that there would be a case such as a smaller leg that caused back problems. thanks...

yes, if one leg is shorter, it will cause backpain. Because it will affect your posture. Once posture is not correct, there's a tendency muscles in one side of the body will be stretch and weaken, and other side will tighten. In some case especially if it worsen it will affect you spinal column too. Backpain that would result from it maybe due to muscle imbalance, the posture itself or impengement of the nerves.

oh, thanks alot for the knowledge...

wow! you're a PT ?! cool! hope this back pain will end soon, i really can't take it anymore. but where should i go, to a PT or a general doctor? what can you suggest my friend...

Thanks for the best response. I'm also experiencing it ones in awhile, it because my neck's posture (its actually my cervical column), that affects almost all. I even experience headache. I experienced long ago already. At first I do exercises, place hotpacks on my back, then pain will go away for awhile, but keeps on experiencing it again. So just last december I seek for a professional treatment (chiropractor and PT), just once but I experience relief until march. But as of now I experience it again once in a while. So I'm planning for more sessions. To have long term relief. You can go to Physiatrist also or to Physical therapy (if your in US), so that they can really diagnose you. They gave good treatment too, other than pain relievers and other medicines, they'll give you other treatments wherein some of it are exercises, that you can actually do at home. Exercises is given both for treatment and prevention. Anyways, I'm a PT myself =). Hope you're okay now. Back pain is really annoying.

Hi can I just answer your iquiries instead? =) In philippines setting: You go to a Physiatrist (they are doctor of Physical medicine and rehabilitation), then they will diagnose you, give you medications and refer you to a physical therapist for rehabilitaion treatment. PTs are under supervison of physiatrist in philippine setting. So, you consult Physiatrist first, then the Physiatrist know what to do next =). You better consult your condition now. I believe you're still young to experience that constant back pain. Good luck!

no, not yet friend,..

yes Physical therapists will do in US settings. In the Philippines it does too, but with different set up =). In the Philippines you have to consult the Physiatrist first (they will diagnose, prescribe mediactions, give additional treatments other than mediactions), then the Physiatrist will refer the patient to PT for additional treatments (execises, stretching, traction, hotpacks, etc). But you can find them all in Physical/occupational rehab.
