Why does your back hurt?
>>Why does your back hurt?<<
It seems to be a combination of things — 6 months ago I had an MRI (one of the most ghastly things one can encounter) and it showed a pinched disk. At that time it was pain in my RIGHT side and physical therapy for a few weeks eventually reduced it to tolerable levels.
Then, about 3 weeks ago I had new pain in my LEFT side, under the scapula. This was/is more pointed: literally it feels like a knitting needle is being jabbed beneath my scapula/shoulder blade (sometimes it feels like it is coming out the front side). It repeats a few minutes at a time on “good” hours and a every few seconds on “bad” hours.
I have been to Osteopaths/Ortho-surgeons, Chiro, Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy and the help only seems to be while the therapy is underway.
Even now the reason I am online is the pain is keeping me from sleeping and sitting up in my chair (which I got to relieve this condition) is less painful than all other positions.
Pain sucks — and I defy anyone to say otherwise.
