I have pain in one side of my lower body. it starts on my butt cheek, then down the hamstring and back of knee and down to my calf muscle. Also my foot is somewhat numb. I have to walk with a limp, I can sit down but it hurts to get up. Also, laying in bed hurts when I turn over. I have been to the Dr. and there is possibility of orthopedic surgery. Has anyone heard of not electing to have surgery, and have chiropractor or physical therapy/massage fix the problem? What about acupuncture will that correct the bulging disk. I saw the MRI and can see where it is a bulge, but the Dr. looks like she might be pushing surgery because it costs more money. Anyone have the same problem(s)? Serious answers by people who have had this problem before or doctors, please. Dont answer if you think you might know or are just guessing.

i broke my finger and i want to know if you go to physical therapy to help it. when you answer this could u please tell me how you know that is the answer, and like your sources like if you are a doctor or where you got the info.
My son is 13 months old and about a month or two ago I started getting these really bad pains in my back. I have scoliosis and I had a spinal fusion to correct it. I guess the bottom where the rods weren’t placed has gotten worse. That isnt where the pain is.
Anyways…. My doctor said that pain is common after having a baby and is having me go into physical therapy. He says that if the physical thereapy doesn’t help then he wants to get a bone scan done to see if it is a “false joint”. I had my surgery five years ago this july.
I was wondering how common it is to have have pain after a spinal fusion and after having a baby when you have had the operation.
I met someone that is a director to a massage institute and she is going to perform a deep tissue massage tomorrow. I told her my story about being in a car accident (got whip lash) a couple years ago and not even physical therapy helped my neck and shoulder pain, really. (Just relieved it temporarily). It still hurts all the time. So, she says she knows how to get to the points that need to be released. What does she mean by that and do you think it will help to do this?
please let me know what did or did not work for you. surgery has been suggested by one doctor to shave off bone that’s hitting up against a nerve. i’m afraid of back surgery, after working at a physical rehab place & noticed that back surgery patients ended up addicted to pain killers, deformed, etc.
I have a torn PCL left knee and I need surgery. I have read that it is permantly disablling. And that surgery the PCL can just tear again! Then i have read that sometimes it is fixable.

Anyone ever had this PCL surgery? Im really scared!! just want to know if it can be successful!!
