Going to the Drs. this morning...good thoughts please....**I'm home, update page 2**

I've had problems with my back for years now due to an accident. Over the last moth or so it has gotten real bad. Besides some bad discs in my lower back I broke my tailbone a couple of years ago. Lately the tailbone will just start to hurt....BAD!
I don't know if thats whats affecting my legs or if its the discs. Last night it was so bad in my knee that I couldn't even put weight on it. At first I thought I twisted my knee or something but I knew I hadn't. I figured out later it was coming from my back. I was able to tell by certain movements.
I woke up this morning and my knee is fine. So strange.
Anyhoo, I had this appointment scheduled for a bit now and I can't wait. They better have some answers because I'm sick of the pain and tired of feeling like I might fall down.
Keep me in your thoughts if you would. I really need some solutions!

Thanks!!!

Good luck. The back is a very strange area. We've been down that road with several family members. I'll be interested to hear what they tell you.

Good luck~ hope you get some relief! I had a lot of problems with that same area...I had a DO put me back into alignment (my pelvis had sheared) and then I went to PT to strengthen my abdominals and back. Hang in there~ hope you feel better!!

It kinda sounds like sciatica.

Good luck at the dr's.

Good luck at the doctor's! I hope it's something fairly easy to take care of and you feel better soon.

I have a friend who has knee problems and is looking for alternatives to the surgery she's been told she needs.

 

[phorsenuf]

Well I'm back and I feel I got nowhere really.....
They did an xray on my spine and are sending me to physical therapy. I've been that route and it doesn't last. Oh well....we'll wait and see what happens. She thought my knee pain was unrelated and if it happens again to come in and they'll check it.
On a side note tho.....while I was there I had one of my "stroke migraines" and it was pretty bad. They set me up for a CT scan on wednesday just to make sure it wasn't anything else. I really hate those things but I was glad it actually happened there.
So I wait and see.......

Bummer on both fronts. I hope everything works out for you in the end. Take care!

I hope you feel better. With back problems I find that it takes quite a while to get help with general docs or Orthapedic Surgeons. I don't suppose this would be a Chiropractor thing? I have found them very helpful, though I get nervous that they can break me worse! I could not carry my DS so I needed a better solution once than pain killers and I was good as new in a week.
