    Pain around waist and down on the legs

    My mother is around 75 years old and she has very acute pain around her waist and below for the last few months. The pain killers are not helping much. She saw a few doctors and were not able to diagnosis correctly. What could the cause of the pain and what are the options?

    Tired of the pain.....

    Hi everyone. I used to post here back in 2003 when I first had my two back surgeries. I really enjoyed talking to other people who had some of the same issues. Sometimes they really lifted my spirits just when I needed it. I have failed back surgery syndrome and have been in pain management since the first surgery. Hope to talk to others soon.

    Migraine

    Hello; Yes. Low Pressure systems are the major culprit of most people’s migraines. I live in Michigan and when the low is over the Heartlands the dreaded migraine starts to settle in. I will tell you that I take Naratriptan that knocks it out of me in usually less than an hour. Their is nothing in this world that is worse than a Migraine headache. And only us Migrainers know the truth. Good luck to you and I wish you a very blessed day and a migraine free life.

    unusual back pain - informal survey

    If you recently started having back pain that is unusual for you in type or duration, did you have the flu or a flu-like illness before the onset of pain? I had a flu-like illness in February (that I may have picked up while visiting a hospital) and immediately after recovery, I had lower back spasms that lasted for about 3 weeks. I have had a couple of instances since the 3 week episode where I had a sudden very painful stitch in the side rib area that seemed to migrate around to the back. Now,....
