Lower back pain help over a year

[kirkbylad]

I have chronic back pain and I wouldn't advise anybody to have any sort of manipulation for a chronic issue until you've had x-rays and MRI to work out what's actually going on in there. For that you need a referral to a specialist and to be honest I wouldn't leave your next appointment with your GP until you've got one, or a really good explanation of why you should be left in this pain without a deeper understanding of what is causing it.

 

I'm in the very unlucky minority that finds out from their first set of tests that there were incurable and degenerative problems with my back, but for the vast majority of people there is everything to gain from being checked out and learning what is actually causing your pain.

 

Good luck

 

Disagree with your first part, i had on going chronic back pain and saw a very good osteopath who diagnosed the problem and sorted within 2 sessions, thats right just 2 sessions and it been going on for a long time. He did a full diagnosis and explained what the problem was and how he was going to treat it

 

He knew what he was doing and now i only see when ever i get back problems which is occasionally

 

However the rest i agree with you, never let them fob you and get the appointment who you need it with
