Hi anita ~

what kinds of doctors have you been to see for your back pain? Have you had any tests done like mri or ct scans to start? What has your doctor said could be wrong with your back? I hate to tell you but pain killers are on of the many steps one has to take when dealing with back problems. Physical therapy is another and so on.

You need to insist on getting relief for your back pain with your doctor. If you are seeing a gp you may want to ask if you should see another doctor about this. Ask about having some tests done. Keep telling your doctor about your pain. Let him/her know how much it bother you and you want something done.
