Question:

Lisa, That is another option I forgot to mention.  Sorry. A good massage therapist can do wonders. Thanks for the advise and reminder Andy. Good Luck and Good Health.

Response:

Have you tried a good massage therapist?  I have found that I have gotten more relief from a good sports massage therapist than I have from a Chiropractor. Good luck                 Andy  T

Response:

Lisa, Nummber one, YES get an xray.  It is always nice to find out exactly what is going on. Secondly, drugs only mask the problem, they just make the pain go asay, sometimes, but do not help the underlying problem. I would suggest any of the following options if Western medicine has not been of help. Accupuncture and/or magnet therapy has helped me tremendously.  I feel these are very viable alternative treatments.  However, if you have been in this ng for any amount of time, you know how people feel about both, especially magnet therapy.  It has helped me; maybe it can help you.  Something to look into. Get the xrays and then you can go from there.  You have to know exactly what kind of injury you have.  Chances are the normal MDs will do the same drug referral protocol (but then again, maybe not). Also with the chiros, you might want to go a few more times or find another. Good Luck and Good Health.

First , I think you did not find a GOOD chiro . Second , two months is too long . Third , I would think that an acupuncturist could help w/ pain . Then go to a GOOD chiro . Hope this Helps .

Hi everyone About 2 month ago I did a stupid thing and fell head first into a cement wall.  I woke up with an aching upper back. Went to the doctor 2 weeks later and he gave me antiflamatory pills.  This didn’t help, so I went to a Chiro. twice and that didn’t help.  Went back to the doctor and he game me a muscle relaxer called flexeril. It’s now early morning and i’ve been taking 3 (10) of flexeril a day.  I’m in so much pain when I lay down.  I only get relieve when i’m standing or sitting.   There no position that doesn’t ach when i lie down. What should i do?   Should i tell the doctor to have x-rays?   So far no drugs are working to get rid of the upper back pain.  Is two months long enough to deal with this kind of pain? thanks lisa

FYI, One of the major downfalls of chiropractic is that you are NOT going to feel a quick relief from your pain (usually).  But you should within the first two weeks.  I would give the chiropractor another try.
