constant pain in my right back Posted: 02-24-08 07:25am
hi!!!
dis is not the first time i'd post
here..anyway i do have scoliosis and i
know that this is not curable even if u
undergo some operations...but the thing
is....
this pain never left me....i mean it's
there almost everytime...i don't remember
the time how it feels to go to sleep with
no pain in your back but now everytime before i
go to sleep my back hurts so bad.
i just think that sometime somehow the
pain will stops when i'm no longer breathe
at all...
sorry it seems that no hope for me not to
feel w/ no pain at all....

Hello Flip,
Yes there is hope.
I wouild highly recommend that you seek
out the best neurologist/spinal surgeon
that you can find in your area. Talk to
others and find out which spine doctor
they have high regard for, and also find
out which ones they did not like. If you
live in an area where there is a
professional sports team, call up their
office and ask which spine doctor they use
for their players.
Then make an appointment with the doctor
at the top of your list.
I wish you the best. Do let us know how
things go.

How bad is your scoliosis, and how old
are you, Some doctors think scoliosis
doesnt cause pain despite just about
everyone with scoliosis developing some
pain eventually, it is possible to have it
treated depending on how bad it is and how
young you were when it started.

BACK PAIN Posted: 02-25-08 02:04am
I dont know what happened, I have always
had back pain but it would go away, this
time it didnt! I have a MASSIVE ruptured
disk and "many degenerating disks", so it
is still going to get worse apparently. My
life CHANGED kast Friday, in a BIG way! My
family is shunning me and my girlfriend is
withdrawing from me, I feel like I am
losing her and if that happens, I will
just lose it COMPLETELY!! I dont know what
to do anymore. I am at a loss!! I mean
nothing I do is right apparently! I mean,
I am just at a loss for words. I CANNOT
live like this!! Suicide has been a
constant in my thoughts over the past 2
weeks and the past 2 days feel like weeks
gone by! I am having to leave my home and
move in with my grandmother at 35 years
old. I am about to lose my car, I have
lost my job and cant get another due to my
condition. I mean the only other thing
that could go wrong is if the one woman
that I have ever TRULY AND WHOLY LOVED
leaves me. Man, I REALLY hope that doesnt
happen but I am so scared that it will!! I
have a little bit of hope, but not much
and that seems to be fading away slowly!

Flip if your curves are only 5 degrees
there is probably no way surgeons would
operate to correct this unless they find
something else wrong with you. After
having done the sensible thing of being
checked out by specialists i would suggest
a good chiropractor if you have not tried
one already.
