I was in a car accident in 1981 where I crushed my pelvic bones, it left my left side about an inch shorter than the right. So I go thru all these years basically pain free. I guess my knees took the brunt of it, I just had knee replacement surgery done on both knees last year. Not even a month after the last surgery, I started experiencing a lot of pain. It is on my inner thighs, my butt feels like someone just kicked me, some lower back. It kinda sounds like Sciatica. I see my Doctor next week, I'd like to ask for a MRI and also back to physical therapy to learn some correct exercises to do. Any suggestions? </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/how-to-cure-an-ear-infection#post-65401 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:17:09 +0000 steve 65401@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>They always ask at the doctor's reception why you are there, and you have to<br /> answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing. </p> <p>There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who insists you tell her<br /> what is wrong with you, in a room full of other patients. </p> <p>I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy<br /> handled it. </p> <p>A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the<br /> desk.<br /> The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?' </p> <p>'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied. </p> <p>The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a<br /> crowded waiting room and say things like that..

I was seeing a foot doctor (podiatrist) monthly and he tried custom orthotics, medication, a brace, one shot (but I think he put it in the wrong location). Then I went to a back dr who gave me four shots in my spine, piriformis muscle, facet joint because my mri showed spinal stenosis. I do sometimes get sciatica but none of these shots helped the foot. So now I have an appt with a foot surgeon because I think I have mortons neuroma. I also have severe arthritis pain in my right foot and my neck and I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia which I'm not sure I really have. Anyway, I was looking in the mirror today and I noticed on the right side of my neck if I held up my hand, from my chin to my shoulder was about 6 inches and only about 3 inches on the left side. What does this mean? Because I am crooked could this be causing all my pain on the right side. Would muscle imbalance exercises straighten me out. Should I see a chiropractor? </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/is-foraminotomy-right-for-me#post-65107 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:41:55 +0000 Steve 65107@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>Greg, First off We are not Drs and can not give your medical advice on surgical Procedures and you must take any advice you get here or on the internet with caution.</p> <p>Our point of view is that ALL non invasive procedures and techniques should be exhausted before even considering surgical procedures.</p> <p>I would suggest that you get Jesse's book, the link can be found on the home page of the forum and that would be a good start...</p> <p>Steve </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/is-foraminotomy-right-for-me#post-64827 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:36:01 +0000 Greg Cowart 64827@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>I found a small site that explains a few back procedures but I am not sure which one will have the lowest impact on my L5-S1 bulging degenerated disc.

My doctor wants to shave about 20% of my disc down.

And my right hip to be higher than the left. I enjoy weightlifting, especially barbell squats. But after squats the IT Band on my left leg gets really sore. I have switched to single leg training and did reverse lunges for two weeks but to no avail as the IT Band on my left legs still hurts. The tight back and tilted pelvis is causing other problems such as cracking knees and neck. For about three weeks now i've been seeing a chiropractor but there has been no improvement, probably because he isn't focusing on the tightness in my lower back yet.</p> <p>What can i do to help my situation and get back to doing what i love? </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/please-help-cant-stand-or-sit-pain-is-so-bad#post-63172 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:31:57 +0000 Admin 63172@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>Hi Carrie,</p> <p>Two things you may wish to consider to help you are The Healthy Back Institute's "7 Day Back Pain Book" which is free, and "Lose The Neck Pain".

What helped me most by far was the Lose the back pain system. You do assessments then have specific exercises to do to effectively correct the muscular imbalances and bring things back into balance. They also give excellent support through the program. Might be worth you looking into.</p> <p>Also just check if surgery is absolutely necessary, perhaps see how you go with less invasive methods first and ask lots of questions about it and make sure you know what you can expect from it. Wishing you all the best. </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/recommended-for-surgery#post-57935 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:00:19 +0000 Brian 57935@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>My Story: First had back pain back in 2005. I bent over to get a towel and bam, went to the ground. Went to see a chiropractor, did nothing good on me, then got an MRI. I had L4/L5 bulge. I got some cortisone shots and felt better. </p> <p>Over the last few years I have had flare ups from time to time. Then last November (2010), I slept on my couch and woke up the next morning feeling awful. I had another MRI, now it's an extrusion of L5/S1 and a bulge of L4/L5. All my Dr's believe its the L5/S1 causing the issue now. </p> <p>I went to my dr and started on prednisone, it did nothing. Then one round of prolotherapy, nothing. Physical Therapy, Chiropractor, more prednisone, 3 rounds of epidural shots, etc, etc. Nothing is relieving the pain. Then just last month both my chiro and Dr recommended surgery. I just met with the surgeon last week. Talked with me for 10 mins (after keeping me wating for over an hour). He said I am the perfect candidate for surgery, and I would be feeling great when it was over, etc, etc.</p> <p>With that said, I am so scared of surgery. I hear NOTHING but bad stories with back surgery. It's not like getting your knee worked on. It just seems to be a crap shoot. </p> <p>Advice? I need it. But over one year of straight pain 24/7 is wearing on me. I work a demanding job, have a 3 year old, coach football...etc. All of these things are so difficult with back pain (as all of you know). I don't feel I am rushing into it, but I am so worried about it being worse afterwards, not sure what to do.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/how-the-back-works-part-5-the-sacro-iliac-joint#post-57775 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:43:34 +0000 Kasara 57775@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>I appreciate you tikang to time to contribute That's very helpful. </p> http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/topic/high-hip-pain-remains#post-57006 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:15:52 +0000 Bob 57006@http://www.losethebackpain.com/forum/ <p>I came across this topic today and I'm posting this although the last posting seems to be 2008.</p> <p>I have been diagnosed as having a "high hip" This not a simple high hip because of other circumstances that I'll list. I hope to get some replies that will help me make the proper choices to (1) get rid of my back pain and (2) return my walking style to "normal".</p> <p>My actual bone leg length difference is 3/4", rt leg being shorter. However, because of my tilted pelvis position, my "apparent" leg length difference is 5 cm...approximately 2". I have "fused" L5 and L5 joints and SI is continually a problem starting to cause numbness in my good left leg.</p> <p>After chiropractic adjustmnets, my leg lengths come close to being correct...ie 3/4' difference. However, I cannot maintain this difference because the Psoas an Iliacus muscles seem to tighten overnite while sleeping and we start all over again. I would like to get to a point where the leg length diiferences are constant so I can then go in for hip surgery to correct for the last 3/4'.</p> <p>Any help anyone can forward would be appreciated.

I don't tire out at all! I even have my friends try it out at break time and everyone of them feel a difference immediately and say they feel relief.<br /> So keep trying it out in shorter time limits and build up - I pray it will work for you as well as it does for me. </p>
