| So I've been having issues with my back being stiff, it's not painful just annoying. I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of the problem but I can't seem to find a solution, I'm a pretty healthy guy I work out regularly practice martial arts and just did the Tough Mudder run in GA this weekend. All the research I've done online says to go to a chiropractor or use some kind of gimmicky thing or specialty stretching video that you can buy now for 3 easy payments of blah blah blah. So I started looking at chiropractors and their websites make me feel like I'm dealing with a used car sales man. Just for S&G's I downloaded some of the new patient forms from one and they're asking shit like who does my wife work for her work number and other things that I don't feel like they need to know. Anyone have any suggestions!!?!?! |

Good news and Bad news..
1st good news it can be fixed Bad news sounds like you might have blew a disc "5th lumbar or so" and might develop sciatica... You ll know if the back continues to be stiff then you might get a slight pain in your leg / legs. go to a doctor asap once the leg hurts you'll be screaming in pain. i had a similar thing happen.. the back was stiff for like 2 months then the leg and it was unbearable needed surgery and im good now.

Quoted:
I called my regular doc and he said there wasn't really anything he could do besides xrays and some ranger candy. He also said he doubts I have any serious issues, and if I decide to go to a chiropractor don't let them sucker me into any of that wellness crap. Alieve (or its generic form Naproxen Sodium) does wonders for my back. |
