Lower Back Pain Posted: 02-21-06 19:14pm
I am a 52 year old male who played a lot
of baseball in my 20's and 30's and am now
paying for throwing my body around with
reckless abandon when I played. I like
to golf, but have a problem with lower
back pain and my chiropractor (who is also
a golfing buddy) looked at my x-rays and
said i've got osteoarthritis in my lower
back. It is very painful and after a day
of work, etc. I am in a lot of pain which
makes me hobble around. I am allergic to
sulfa so I can't take celebrex and suffer
from gerd so I can't take any nsaids. Is
there anything else to take that will help
with the pain? I'm doing some stretching
and abdomen strengthening exercises, but
it isn't helping much with the pain. Any
suggestions or help to aid me in living a
more normal life would be greatly
appreciated. I am depressed and
miserable most of the time and am looking
for help to live a more normal life.
