I’m pretty sure I have a herniated disc. I have been in extreme pain for 11 days now with no sign of improvement. If I bend over or move wrong, it feels like I’m getting shocked by electricity. I mean REALLY shocked, not just tingling. It usually shoots down my legs, but yesterday I had one that made my cheeks tingle. This is the worse pain I have ever felt. I don’t have insurance, but it doesnt matter because I have had back problems in the past where I had physical therapy, so this is considered a pre-existing condition. I don’t want to form a habit of taking painkillers, but right now that seems to be my only option.
27 yo f. 105 lbs 5′4″ I’ve had a sonogram and docs found nothing. One doc thinks it might be a pushed out muscle, she thinks physical therapy can help push it back in.It looks like an oversized love handle and still growing. It doesn’t hurt when I push on it or when when I walk. It’s a very slight pain, that comes and goes every hour or so. I don’t feel it in my spine, just deep in my left side and nothing I do makes it hurt worse. Should docs look for anything else. One doc told me that it’s just fat! Fat doesn’t freaking hurt and I’m skinnier than most of hollywood! Could it be cysts?
What Is Your Preference?

I don’t know if this is ‘appropriate’ or not, but my friend and I are doing a survey on this. On which of the five senses do you get off on more? Like sight, sound, smell, taste, or feeling?
Background: We were watching Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew (ha, right?) and they aren’t allowed to hug or have any physical contact, even if it is a handshake. My friend didn’t understand that they, being sex addicts, could get off on just barely touching. Am I correct in assuming this?
I was involved in a car accident almost 5 years ago. I’ve been to one chiropractor for almost 2 years with no results. Then to 2 different physical therapy, with little relief besides when they pulled my neck away from my body. I’ve had many injections in my back, 1 lasting 3-4 months, another for 1 month or so, and the others maybe a week or so, sometimes nothing at all.
I’ve had 2 Epidurals done, one lasted 3 months the other a month.
I’ve gone to a sports medicine doctor, a few other specialists. Most not recommending surgery because they cannot find the problem. I had a cat scan and a MRI and showed there was something a bit strange in my T 7-8 in my back. I have to take vicodin everyday for pain, and sometimes it doesn’t even work. I’m a healthly 22 year old. Working out at the gym seems to help my back sometimes. It’s a sharp pain in my upper right side of my back, near my spine too. If you push on certain spots on my spine near the pain, its really tender.
I’m running out of help and ideas, please someone, guide me towards someone to see, or some kind of doctor, I will not do surgery as i’ve been recommended not to, so I’m not sure what to do. I just need help, I want to be normal again and not in pain. I still can barely do the things I love and it’s really starting to take effect on how I live my life and my mood. Please someone…. Help..
I live near SF, California if that helps.

Your husband is a physical therapist and is contracted out to work in a business where his job is to rehab patients. One day you show up at his job to take him out for lunch and you walk into his office and he’s giving a younger girl a massage and has his hands inside of her pants rubbing her lower back and hips. This girl is an employee not a rehab patient. Then you overhear talk from other people that he works with that there may be a sexual harrasment suit filed against him because he has a problem keeping his hands to himself. What would you say to him, what would your reaction be? Please, serious replies only.
11 years ago i fell at work and live in pain pretty much day to day. herniated disc in neck. workman comp gave 6 months of physical therapy for 6 months and made me pick which hurt worst my neck or my back. 2 years later i had car accident and workman comp blames the car accident. now i live on social security and thats all they want to offer me. i know people that have been hurt less than me and have a settlement to live on?
Okay, l was pregnant when this all began, I asked my OB/GYN when I first noticed it in November . It looked like a bruise about the size of a quarter above my right knee, it also looked raised. I told him my leg was numb around that area, and that if I walked a lot my whole leg would go numb and tingle.He told me it was a busted blood vessel and that I had extra fluid putting pressure on it bc I was pregnant, and that it would go away after the baby was born. He sent me to physical therapy for my back & this but it didn’t seem to help.
Well it’s been about a month since I had my baby and I still have the spot,still looks inflamed & numb.
The numbness when I walk has gotten better but I still have numbness around the spot and like a dull aching pain almost all the time. My toes sometimes go numb and get cold. I have an appointment with a neurologist, but I really don’t know who I need to see, this was who my Dr suggested if the problem didn’t get better. Would love some input. Thanks
I am going to physical therapy for the first time on Wed. for my neck and shoulders/migraines from carrying my daughter. does anyone know what they will have me do at the physical therapy?
