    Herniated discs/chronic back pain

    When I was 19, I slipped down some slick stairs and landed badly on my lower back and right shoulder. I had severe back pain for weeks afterward when lying down but just thought it was probably a bad bruise, possibly a muscle strain/sprain. Fast forward to 6 months later I got checked out by a local clinic doctor because I was having weird numbness, shocking, and stabbing leg pain. They did one X-ray and prescribed a ton of various pain meds including an opioid and said to come back in 6 months.....

    Severe back pain

    I'm 22 years old. I originally hurt my back when I had a fall forward (almost 2 years ago). I never had diagnostics and was given anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers. I was fine until one year ago. I had pain in my middle back (top of hips to mid sternum). I went to a chiropractor and physical therapy which both helped at first then I hit a wall. I had radiographs and a bone spect and everything is normal. I'm stuck whether I need to keep pushing doctors to find something wrong, or accept....

    Kaisers making patients suffer

    Hello, I was wandering how all the kaiser patients are doing after being refused pain management care? In the valley near fresno, ca, its finally affecting us. The older posts I saw were 4 to 7 yrs old. How did affected patients survive this terrible dis service? Did you pay cash for a private Dr, find a pain solution, demand a diagnosis, or did you lose your job and are stuck on the couch in agony? If you dont want to read all this, skip to last paragraph for your input, please. I find it ironic....
