hi rfuentes.. sorry to hear this.. you have to consult a ortho doctor first take your x-ray and they will diagnose what problem you have.. i think you have a lower back pain.. i could suggest you to go with physiotherapy.. they will give traction and ift for your lower back and it will take one week time.. take rest.. keep posting.. take care of you health..

It cold be a back or nerve problem. You should go and visit your family doctor and let him refer you to the right kind of doctor, ortho or neurologist. In the mine while rest and take care.

Maybe it's your bed. Did you get a new bed? Or maybe you need a new mattress? I'm not sure. You didn't really give much info. My back is always hurting too. I got bucked off a horse years ago and I can't afford to get it fixed. My mom took me to a chiropractor, but only for a couple weeks, and now I'm 18, so I'm screwed.

I would suggest you go and see a doctor the soonest time possible so that you will know the definitive diagnosis for it. The doctor could also do some diagnostic test and give treatment for that kind of problem. Hope you will seek the doctors help immediately. Happy myLotting. :-)

I think you have lumbago or lower back pain. Have you ever consulted a doctor for that? That is really serious. The doctor will ask you to take a lumbosacral X-ray and then will diagnose what problems you have. That X-ray costs about three times the normal chest X-ray but will really be helpful. He can then advise you on what activities you can or cannot do. He's going to teach you how to exercise to minimize the pain or will refer you to physiotherapist. Consult a doctor first. I also have some pains and the doctor gave me the medicine called Celebrex and I haven't experienced the pain for long as I followed his instructions.

You need to get it checked out quickly. I waited and now I spend most of my days laying in a hospital bed in my own home. There are so many things that can go wrong with your back. I have arhtritis, Fibromyliga, bulging disks, discentergrating spine,low spinal fluid and a whole lot of pain. I get Quartisone shots in my neck, middle back and lower back 6 times a year just to help me deal with the pain that the pain meds don't take care of. So Don't Wait. Get it checked out Now. Best of luck to you. God Bless.

you might have a disc thats out of place. or maybe it is some sort of arsrhitis. my back and my feet hurt always. they hurt worse when i dont do anything. especially at nighttime. it also could be fibermalgitis, im not sure how you spell it. but you have pain in your joints all the time. hope i could help.
