Back Pain Forum - 17 Years Old With Major Back Pain

Hey everyone,
I was in a car accident last december around christmas time, I have gone to see 2-3 different chiropractors (no crackers)--i had a mri done a few months back claiming I have some bulging discs...I am only 17 years old and I have a lot of pain I go through everyday. The spine itself that has all the nerves that go through it, its a lot smaller than most peoples for some reason. I am not sure what my next step is to do...My orthepedic doctor would like shoot me with some steroid injections...I was wondering if these even work..Or if anyone else could help me...Decide my next move...Thanks!

Sorry about your car wreck...
First, you need to sit down and talk with the person who pays your medical bills.
Tell that person what's going on, they need to know.

Been There, Done That

I'm 19 and have been having back pain for about a year now, they still don't know what caused it, no trauma or anything, but I had steroid injections in 5 places in my back and for me they gave me some temporary relief. If your medical insurance will cover it I say go for it. It's worth a try if they think it can help maybe even a little.

Back Pain Relief

I would advise you to purchase the any book on "combat conditioning". The system contains an exercise called bridging, which involves supporting your entire weight on your forehead and feet which has healed severe back pain for thousands and thousands worldwide including myself.
