Hi I went and had my spin checked in 03
and was told I have a slipped disc and a
bulged disc. One in my middle back and
the other in my lower back. They
suggested to go get accupuncture and so I
did. At that time I was having the pain
in the middle of my back. Now it's the
lower part. Well my new ins. Doesn't
cover that and I am having the pain in my
lower back. It's the most painful feeling
ever. It happen at about 3 or 4 am I wake
up and can barely move. I then ice my
back and usually fall back asleep. My new
doc. Told me to do stretches because my
thigh muscles are tight and that can cause
the pain. Well I do my stretches everyday
2 times a day and still am having the
pain. My question is: does anyone now
anything else I can do to help the pain or
make this go away?

You need to continue streching but you may
also need medications to assist you in
relaxing your muscles,
i am currently taking soma and motrin for
muscle pain,spasms, and swelling. It
would be very good for your doctor to
perscribe meds and pt for you to help get
this under control.
