I'm new to this forum..And am using it out
of desperation and for piece of mind.
I'm 24 years old.. Healthy weight... And
active. I was involved in a car accident
in september which left me with extreme
back pain. I live in columbus for school
and do not have a regular doctor that I
could see down here, so I had to keep
returning to the er who kept telling me my
pain was just muscular. Since then they
reffered me to a general doctor who
requested I get an mri.. My summary said
I have a small annular tear in my
l5...Disc degeneration in my l4 and spinal
anthrosis in the same area. I have
horrible pain and just returned to my
doctor today because I cannot cope
anymore... I've been in physical therapy
for a month with no results. My doctor
was rude...Said my back isn't bad and I
should not be having much pain...And that
I must not be able to handle pain very
well *which I objected to, I broke two of
my fingers last week and didn't even know
it* he said a spine center would look at
my report and say nothing was wrong with
me, he was laughing at me the whole time.
My father's boss who has had many back
surgeries looked at my films and said my
l4 and l5 discs look completely black on
the films and said healthy discs appear to
be white...I'm wondering if i'm just crazy
from feeling this pain, or if my pain is
quite true. My doctor had me in tears
because he made me feel terrible for
waisting his time and hurting "for no
reason" please somebody I need advice.

Hi there, I know where your coming from
regarding the doctor. I have been in a
similar situation and will not consult him
again, I hope u do the same!!1
i urge you to visit www.Mattfurey.Com.
The website contains the exercise
program "combat conditioning". In this
program are many wonderful execises but 2
of them will really help you with your
back pain. I will try to explain the
movements. The first is called 'wall
walking'. Stand against a wall and take
three steps heel to toe until you are
about 3 feet from the wall. Now lean
backwards, letting your head fall back,
and try to walk down the wall until you
reach the floor. I admit this this is
scary at first, but persevere. This
movement helps you into 'bridging' which
involves supporting your entire bodyweight
on only your feet and forehead with your
body arched just like a gymnast. This
sounds extreme I know but trust me it will
fix your back. And if it is 'muscular'
as your favourite doctor says then I
guarantee it. The bridge movement can
also be slowly worked into using one of
thos swiss exercise balls. I have tried
to explain the movements but please visit
the site and read some of the many
testimonials from happy pain free
customers!!! Please act on this
post.....Doctors dont know caca when it
comes to back pain, matt furey
does.!!!!!!!!
