Yoda where are you?, you have been quiet for a few days now, is every thing okay?.

Maria:)

Oh Maria, that sucks!! Do you know what you did to trigger it this time??

Hope you feel better Maria. There is nothing worse than back pain.

Thanks guys, i hope i can find some relief too. Cloe i have no idea what triggerd it, i woke up last Sunday with a little twinge by Monday it was really bad. It just frustrating that the doctor just keeps giving me pills for the pain, and they do not bloody well work, this time i am going to insist that he send me to someone who will tell me what is wrong.

Maria

Maria, hope you find the answers you are looking for with the next visit with the Doc. It's not right to have to live in such pain. :girl_hug:

Yhanks Wheezy.

Maria

Maria, you seem like a very sweet and quiet person. But you know...the squeaky wheel gets the oil. So...squeak away, LOUDLY!!!! Eventually you'll get the doc you need. Good Luck and let us know if you make progress.

Irishmist,

I too have back problems. I have been getting injections in my spine now for over a year. Just when I think things will be good I'm down again. I am seriously considering back fusion but am still looking for other options. I do find that if I don't drink enough water I have the problem much more frequently. I would suggest you try to drink more water and talk to your Dr. about seeing a pain specialist. It will help. Also I have heard that a Manual Therapist (not Physical Therapy) can be very helpful. I have not seen one yet due to the fact my insurance will not cover it, but I may have to pay out of pocket for this too! I know that there is help out there if we look in the right place.

Oh Maria, I hope that the doc sends u to a specialist to get things straightened out. At least they cant blame it on your weight anymore!(you know how they love to do that...hey doc, i got stabbed in the chest, can u help me?....well you know if u werent so fat, that never would have happened and now the healthcare system has to pay for your inability to put down your fork)

ROTFLMAO @ Neenagh!!!! Good one!:clap2:

Thank you everyone, i am going to insist that the dr, send me to someone else, this has gone on long enough. I will keep you posted.

Maria

neenaugh, I'm with Yoda....fricken hilarious you are!!!

Maria, yyour ticker has moved again, right???? werent you just at 253????

Good luck, Maria... hope you feel better soon. :hug:

Hey Maria, how's your back? Any help from the doc?

The back is still quite painfull Neenagh, i have been to the Dr. this time i insisted on some other type of treatment, the pills are doing nothing for me. So now i am to go for x-rays, bone density scan, physiotherapy and massage therapy. And Neenagh the subject of weight loss still came up, even though i am down 72 lbs, i was told to keep losing weight it will help a lot, as if i didn't know that myself

So my daughter printed of a list of physiotherapy places for me in my area (Newmarket) i chose the one that did Aqua therapy(even though i do not own a bathing suit), went last night for an assesment, the parking lot was not cleaned of snow, got into the building with out falling and was told i had to go upstairs, NO ELEVATOR,:omg: i can hardly walk and they tell me to go upstairs WTF, and on top of that were they would do the therapy is all open were anyone could stop and watch. NOT BLOODY LIKELY. Needless to say i will not be doing Aqua Therapy.

Will let you know how i make out with my next choice, and with my tests.

Thank you everyone for caring here are lots of hugs to you all. :cool: :hug: :hug:

Maria
