Reason for pain can be in pelvis, ilium
upslip and rotated sacrum causin pressure
to nerves. In 80% of back pain patients
doctors don't find a cause because they
only check their spine. And even if they
see something wrong in spine it doesn't
mean that is causing pain because pain can
not be seen. Many people have disc
degeneration, prolapsy, herniated discs
but still they are without pain.

Thanks for the response:
During my surgery in 6/07, there was a
significant amount of calcified build up
around one on the disk. This was removed,
I have a feeling the calcium may have
returned. I just completed another MRI,
Cat Scan. I am also scheduled to do a
nerve test. What sort of testing did you
do, did you have any kind of surgery and
what were your results

You should ask them where that calcium
(calcified) comes from and why. Something
is causing it. Its not coming without a
reason! It is useless to just remove it if
the cause is left remaining.
I did not have surgery but joint
manipulation. I had ilium upslip
that caused torsion to my spine causing
extended lordosis and scoliosis to spine.
Also because of asymmetrical pelvis my
lumbrar spine was hypermobile and caused
stress to my muscles and they caused nerve
compression and pain: sciactica, leg
weakness, heel pain, etc. Also many other
problems too to my upper body. I suffered
those pains over 10 years and went many
places and saw many experts to find what
was wrong with me. They didn't know... but
finally I was lucky to find an expert who
diagnosed and corrected my ilium uplsip.
It is most common disorder in people.
