a friend had an anterior/posterior lumbar fusion about a 1.6 yrs ago. she is still having complications and pain with her back and right leg. shes pregnant and doesn’t know if it’s good or bad?
I have a bit of trouble with sciatica and would like to make my back stronger while I’m not in pain…any ideas please?
I am 8 months pregnant with severe back pain. My doc has put me on bed rest because of my edema and it feels as though the longer I sit or lay the worse my back hurts. What can I do? I feel as though I am in a no win situation.
I currently have flexeril and it does not work for my back pain at all. What is a good medication to switch to?
Thanks!
I’m looking for some exercises that I can do at home, to help me tone my belly and my back. Can anybody help?
I’ve been sick for the last few days so I’ve stayed in bed. I’ve found that lying in bed actually makes my back feel worse, and last night I felt like a shock went up to this area on my back. Every couple hours I kept waking up with back pain.
The area that hurts is slightly below the middle of my back, to the right. My bed has a lot of indentations in it, and no matter what position I tried my back still hurt.
While I was lying there in pain I turned on the tv and saw a commercial for the sleep number bed, which they claim has good back support and will help people with back pain. I also remember seeing commercials for temperpedic that claim the same thing.
The rest of my family uses Sterns and Fosters and like those beds. Are there any studies on which beds are good for people with back pain?
I’m considering 3 alternatives. 1. Steroid injections for as long as they’ll work 2. Spinal Fusion 3. Disk replacement
Can anyone give me some really good points on the pros and cons of each decision? I’m really all over the place in what to decide. I’m afraid of steroids and the quick fix and brittle bones but I’m also afraid of surgery. So which is the lesser of 2 evils?
Ok so im kinda outta shape and i need to get back in to shape by October for JV basketball. No of any good exercises?
I take ballet class four times a week plus modern. My teachers says that I am stuck in my hips and that i need to pull up more. I think i’m arching my back. Does anyone know of helpful sites and or exercises? Thanks!! 
I have already lost 55 pounds without exercise. But I need some exercise that doesn’t put me in pain for a week before I can exercise again. My back hurts when I run on me tread mill and my knees hurt severly after exercises.
