Injured back

[Norwoodx55]

I had a girl slide on the ice across the highway last Feb. and t-boned her. We were both doing about 50 mph. It was a pretty good hit. I started with a Chiro. for about 7 mos. I didn't get any real relief from muscle spasms and stiff/soreness till I went to a physical therapist. I now do stretches and excercises daily and am much improved. The P.T. told me that the excercises strenghten the muscles supporting the vertabra and keep them aligned better= less problems. Dunno, but it seems to be working for me. Just my experience.
Good luck,
Brett

man i feel for you guys. i have chronic back, neck and shoulder pain and lately my psiatic nerve has been killing me too. unfortunately what i have is not curable and the meds only slightly help. i have osteoarthritis, fibromayalgia, degenerative disc disease and i also suffer from chronic depression because of al the other probs. my daoctor just changed my main pain meds to methadone last week and i can't tell if it is doing any better than what he's had me on before. i also take lortab (hydrocodone), celebrex, wellbutrin xl, paxil, my muscle relaxer is called robaxin and i also have ambien and amitryptiline to help me sleep. and i have had 2 surgeries, one on my neck and one on my left shoulder.
