Resolved Question: Neck/upper back pain? 29 Jul 2010, 10:40 am

So this morning I woke up and I’m having pain around my 2nd and 3rd cervical vertebrae. I’ve gone to the chiropractor before but my dad is getting irritated saying that they’re just trying to suck me in for my money to continue treatment. So I haven’t gone in several months. Generally the pain isn’t this bad, atm it hurts to move my head side to side, up, but ESPECIALLY when I move it downwards. It’s more of a pinching or tight sensation.Should I try to massage it out or go to the chiropractor?Yeah the chiropractor seemed to help in the past, but only if I kept going. My dad seems to think going once should just permanently fix the problem… And I’ve been looking for good exercise routines, I’ve been working a lot lately so I haven’t had time hehe. I’m going to the chiropractor today.I feel like my neck might be too sore right now to try those methods, however, I will try them after I go to the chiropractor and see how it goes. Thanks.

Resolved Question: Back pain when i wake up in the morning? 28 Jul 2010, 10:29 pm

I have always slept on my stomach…always, but the last 2 days i have woken up in the morning with back pain. The pain covers my whole back…more in the middle though. Also, my chest seems a bit tight too.I’ve never had this problem before.I haven’t switched my matress, and i’ve used the same pillow for about 5 months.What’s going on? Why is this happening now? What can i do tonight, so that my back doesn’t hurt so bad in the morning?I’m still young, i shouldn’t be having these problems.Thanks

Resolved Question: Severe back pain, can anyone relate? 28 Jul 2010, 12:04 pm

I am a fit 28 year old. I have had back problems since i was a teen. Doctors first discovered that i had scoliosis when i was about 15. It wasn’t a super severe case though. but it is enough that you can notice it when i’m in a bathing suit. They couldn’t do anything for me because i was already fully grown. When i was 16 i fell onto my lower spine on an ice rink. It was a VERY hard fall, one that left me unable to move for a few minutes, i needed help up. All of my upper body weight landed on my lower spine near the tail bone. I didn’t go to the doctor, i was 16 so i didn’t know any better. And the pain must not have started right away. I can’t really remember much about that time. Throughout the years though i have been left with pain that is way down my back,just to the left of my tailbone, i can go days without anything wrong then it will flair up. The pain is nothing like i’ve ever experienced. Yesterday in the shower i was sitting to shave and when i tried to get up the pain was just so sharp and intense that i couldn’t move. The littlest movement will make these sharp stabbing pains, that i cannot even bear. They cause my body to almost spasm they are so bad. It is hard to get out and into bed when i have flair ups. Alot of times i have no idea why i have flare ups. They just happen. Then other times i’ll be cleaning and i will get a flair up from that within a few hours. Does anyone else have any experience with this?? After my baby is born in ocotober i am going to get a back xray. I am afraid of having surgery but i just cannot live like this anymore.
