My back is killing me, should I find a new chiropractor or see a GP?

My back is hurting. I have a slightly curvy spine and poor posture. I am working on the posture, but it is hard.

I just joined a gym, so maybe the exercise and stretching will help. The only traumatic injury I can think of is falling about 10-12' onto my back about 16-17 years ago. I bruised a kidney and my shoulder was pretty banged up.

The pain is on the side I injured, under the shoulder blade. The pain started off and on about 11 years ago, and has only gotten worse with age. I went to see a chiropractor recently, but I swear he only made it worse.

Now instead of just hurting behind the shoulder my whole mid-back hurts. So, should I go to a different chiropractor or see a GP? What do you think?

Try some muscle relaxers or pain relief medications I know from my lower back pain from a few auto injuries that muscle relaxers or pain relief medications can also help as well as the chiro and strengthening exercises to help the back. If you need to try a muscle relaxer I know Soma works well and for pain relief Tramadol is a good one. You can actually order them or others at 24hrpharmacies.net and you don't need a prior prescription or insurance to order.

All you do is fill out their online short medical form and then their online U.S. licensed doctors and pharmacies will review, issue and ship your medications. I highly recommend this site as it is easy to order from and you receive the medications quickly. No problems ever with them.

Hope this is useful to you! .

1 Have a thorough medical checkup on bone structure, or it might even be a pinched nerve somewhere. I think swimming is one of the best all-round muscle toners available.

3 I tried a chiropractor to help with some sciatic nerve problems around 18 years ago. He didn't help; turned out I needed to build up my upper body strength for bike racing. I haven't had a problem since.

Chiropractors can sometimes help with back pain, but they're limited in what they can do, and some of them are a little seedy. I'd see an MD if I were you, one that specializes in sports medicine.

4 A GP could only give pain killers and muscle relaxers...I have a great chiropractor who also works with the muscles...if you could find one that does that it would be great. There are also scolisis specialists but surgery on the spine may not help either...check all your options.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
