Hello everybody!
I'm a new member here and I hope you will help me understand my problem.
I'm 28 years old and in last two years I started experiencing strange health conditions.
I believe it all started with sciatic pain. It happened occasionally and I never really paid too much attention to it. it was usually just a moderate pain that made me feel uncomfortable, but sometimes I couldn't shift my weight on my leg because of the pain.
later I developed some sort of lower back pain that was sometimes shifting to my upper back. it was all occasionally and I don't even remember when it entered my everyday life.
now I have morning stiffness, so bad that sometimes I barely can tie my shoe laces! during a day it usually fades away, but still I'm not really flexible and cannot bend over normally.
also, sometimes back pain in the morning is so bad that it wakes me up and I can't find comfortable posture to fall asleep again! it feels like my lower back muscles are cramped up so bad that it hurts!
I bought memory foam mattress and now I sleep well, but still I can't get rid of morning stiffness and occasionally sciatic pain.
I'd like to see a doctor, but I just cannot afford it. I don't have healt insurance and paying full price is out of question (unless somebody is willing to donate
I could afford a chiropractor, and would appreciate any recommendations for a good chiropractic in chicago. PM me if it's against the rules to posti directly on the board.
thanks
