I have a herniated bulging disc in my lower back and at times it gives me some pain down my right buttock and sometimes down my right leg as well. Is there anything I can do to cure it, I’ve had it for years and have been to physio, chiropractors and massage but hasn’t cured it any ideas out there????

I turned 18 about 2 weeks ago and have 4-5 years of chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage care on my insurance. What is the likelihood of receiving a medical marijuana license for my chronic back pain?
There is no injury at cause, I’ve just had back as long as i can remember.

I want to get my mother and mother in law massages for valentines day and birthday gifts and I’m not sure if they can have them because they both have had spinal fusions in the past. I just don’t want to pay the money and then have them say it’s nice but I can’t get a massage. So my question is can they have swedish massages after spinal fusions?

Did it happen again in following pregnancies? If yes, how did you manage with the other children at home? And if no, what preventitive measures did you take to keep this from happening again? I have very bad pain that keeps me from even being able to get out of bed or bend over to pick things up off the floor or put my socks and pants on. Did you find anything particularly useful for the pain such as physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture or chiropractor? I know there’s a lot of questions in there, but as many answers as you can offer would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks!

i have had some back pain for a couple of weeks now. i am 15 years old, and for a long time i have been cracking my joints (back & neck mostly, sometimes my knuckles). about 3-4 weeks ago i started to feel a pain in my lower back, mostly on the left side. it feels like sore muscles, but when i had someone massage it, the pain didnt go away, and the massage didnt help at all. that pain went away, only a little. but now there is a pain in my upper back. i used to get this pain when i was younger, but i was always able to crack my back or neck to get the pain to go away. also, when i go to feel two vertebrae on my back, there is a very large gap in between them. is this bad? another pain i am feeling is in the middle of my back, where the big gap between my vertebrae is. its more uncompfortable than it is painful. is this bad? is it because i have been cracking my joints for so long? is it bad to crack your neck and back? is it bad to crack your knuckles? help!!!!!!

Apparently my lumbar doesn’t curve enough and I have a lot of lower back problems. I have been to see our team physiotherapist and she said that is what causes tight hamstrings…but all they really do is a massage on my back. Anyone currently have this and know what I can do? Please only respond if you are knowledgeable on the subject. Thanks!

What exercises would you recommend to get me started. Old injuries to neck and back have progressed to the point where the pain is constant i.e. sleep sitting up and with heat and massage 16-20 hrs per day to maintain functionality. even still, need help sometimes getting up and about. Im gunshy about exercise because one wrong step can aggravate injury even more.

Have always been an athlete, basketball player mainly, a gym rat. But the injuries combined with sitting alot have my midsection spreading and feeling weak. Tried to run / walk on track on sunday and shoot a little hoops. Each step seemed to press the lower back discs together more with pain. Also old knee injury from ball makes running painful. 3 days later i can hardly walk.

I know extra weight is making pain and quality of life worse. About 75 extra pounds now. I need exercise thats low impact, wont hurt back, knee or neck, will strengthen back muscles and really! work on reducing mid-section spread?
hmmmm… I cant swim now, only float on back.

My OBGYN gave me a prescription for Tylenol with Codine and it didn’t help at all, it just made me sleepy. I have been going to the Chiropractor and it feels good to lay on the roller table and get a massage, but as soon as I walk out the door I am having the same problem. I can not put any pressure on my right leg, it just gives out and I have fallen a few times because of it. The pain is in the back of my hip (right above my butt). What else can I do about this? Will I still have this problem after the baby comes? any advice is welcome! thanks!

I was in two car accidents in the past two years – the first one I hurt my lower but got chiropractic and massage done, the second one about a year later I didn’t have anything done because the woman had no insurance who hit me. My back doesn’t hurt usually during day to day activities but when I’m at the gym and try to do sit ups or crunches it hurts after about 20 and I have to stop – not because I can’t do anymore situps just because it hurts. What are some stretches or excersises I could do to strenthen my lower back so this doesn’t happen when I exert too much energy around that area?

My boyfriend is in terrible pain due to his sciatic nerve, and I am looking for anyone who could give me a hint or tip as to how I can help him with the pain. Certain massage, food or something, anything, to ease his pain, please!

Cordially,
