Chronic lower back pain?
hi everyone,
in mid-august, went "out." laid in bed every evening, though mornings seemed easier going. doctor ordered mri--unfortunately ordered cervical spine , came negative, though pain located in mid lower back. detected slight scoliosis , physical therapists confirmed ribs flared , there asymmetry in back. went therapy august-november , saw mild improvement not enough. still having crawl around in evenings place place. in mid-to-late november, saw chiropractor couple of times. felt relief after pain came back. started seeing lmt. perhaps telling thing asked me turn head side side--no problem (not cervical). asked me turn body side side--no problem (not thoracic). asked me touch toes , barely bend forward (definitely lumbar). lmt helped relieve lot of muscle tension that's been mounting.
insurance changed between october , december--meaning can no longer spine pre-existing condition. however, new doctor prescribed lorazepam which, paired massages, seems relaxing muscles , easing anxiety caused chronic pain. i'm @ least able walk now, , there's been 1 or 2 evenings in last couple of weeks had crawl.
pain still me, though, , i'm wondering if it's normal lower pain last 5 months. anxiety pain , stressful living situation causing telling me it's serious, , when pain spreads shoulders , chest worry it's heart-related (but i've had blood tests, 2 ekgs, chest x-ray , test injected fluid make sure cardiovascular system operating , nothing came up).
should worried pain more serious caused poor posture , computer time? how long chronic lower pain expect better?
