I am 25 years old with exreme lower back pain and extreme whiplash of my back.Dr gave me many medsl
I have scolosis, which causes extreme, constant lower back pain in the lower lumbar. My pelvis is off by 25mm and I lean to the left. I also have extreme neck pain due to whiplash even though I was never in hospital or car accident. I do yoga ,meditation, adjustments, accupuncture, eletric stim, NOTHING WORKED. No one in my family has this, I have been to about 5 Chiropracots and 5 regular doctors. Vicodin is too weakk, Percocets work really good, but put me in a bad mood, lortab is good but is not stronge enough. I was just given ooxycontin 80mg 2 times a day but it makes me feel like shit. WHAT SHOULD I BE TAKING? Email me at carriemb21@comcast.net or reply ASAP THANK YOU.
This is a shot in the dark but have your ever considered going to a movement specialist? I've just been introduced to something called the Feldenkrais technique which uses very small movements to kind of retrain the body how to move without pain. The website I checked out was called the Anat Baniel method - she seems really quite good. I see some reviews of using Feldenkrais with scoliosis; one good and one not good.

It may be time to try one of these alternative methods. Even if they just take the edge off the pain it would be worthwhile. Good luck!

Carrie,
You say that you have been to several "regular Doctor's", but have you ever been to a Neurosurgeon or an Orthopedic Surgeon that specializes in spines? I think that with all of your back issues, going to a spine specialist would be the best idea. If you have a recent MRI of your spine, bring that with you.
Another thing...... you should also consult with a Pain Management Doctor. It sounds like everyone is giving you something different and not really following or "solving" your pain issues. A PM Doc can follow you, he will be the only one prescribing your meds plus he might be able to try other treatments for your pain, besides medication. That would be the best advice that I can think of here. You take care,
Millie
