At the moment i am suffering with pain in the lower back and pelvic area, i find it difficult to walk, bend, sometimes breathing is also painful. i am having acupuncture at my doctors today, this pain has been with me for about six to eight weeks, ive been the doctors three times, the last time he suggested i go for an xray, i should know the results by next week, Not sure what the diagnoses is at the moment, could be slipped disk? who knows!
All i know is, its getting me down. I have not had an accident or anything,to cause this pain.

Dont give up if they don't find anything on the x-ray, persue a diagnosis and you'll get some treatment. I should have gotten treatment a lot earlier for my spinal isues and maybe I would have gone this far.

I just wanted to let you know that there are cases of spinal damage that is hereditary and can come on you for no apparent reason. Work with your doctors and if you find that one particular doctor is not doing much for you, ask for a second opinion, that is a life saver. I have found that x-rays really don't show much if it's a soft tissue disruption, such as a disc herniation. This will call for an MRI or CT scan. Good luck and keep your chin up. If pain medication doesn't seem to be working, let your doctor know and ask him to adjust it. Good Luck.
