    Sciatica

    I've been dealing with sciatica on a daily basis for many years. I've had numerous injections, been on muscle relaxers, hours of physical therapy, tried custom shoe inserts, chiropractors, acupuncture and several other therapies. Is getting a nerve cut, or root nerve ablation a possibility? Possibility to lower or stop the constant pain? I'm talking over 40 years. Getting around is more difficult all the time. Falling happens frequently so I rarely leave my home and I'm only 62. I'm....

    CBD oil for pain management

    I'm asking for opinions about CBD oil for chronic pain. I have mid-back pain from sitting at my desk every day at work. It usually starts about 4 hours into my shift. I sit and occasionally get up and move a bit every 2 hours, but after lunch the pain gets intense. I have kyphosis in my mid-back and I think that increases my pain along with minimal movement during my work day. Would CBD oil help with my pain level? I have also been taking Kratom with some success that lasts for about 4 hours....

    Back ache that won't go away

    For over a week I've been having back pain. The pain is mostly located a few inches below my right shoulder blade. I've tried NSAIDs, heat, massages, yoga, even going braless. But the pain keeps coming back. When my husband massages my back he said that he feels knots and massages the pain away but the pain comes right back 5 to 10 minutes later. I emailed my doctor. He said to try epsom salt soaks, deep tissue massages and stretching. But the pain keeps coming back. My doctor doesn't....

    Mysterious and progressively worse morning pain

    Hi, I am an 18 year old female and for the past month or so, every morning I am beginning to be woken up with extreme pain on my right side of my back. It feels like my muscles are on fire. Laying back down does nothing to help, really only makes it worse. Mornings like today, I just lay there until I fall asleep again. Strangely, if I do manage to fall back asleep, it's gone when I wake up again. If I stay up, it will go away within about 30 minutes to an hour. I have tried taking ibuprofen....

Again it always goes away when I wake up and walk around. However, in the previous year I’ve also felt the right flank pain when I lay on the....
