My back doesn't hut just my leg. However, my back has a significant curve. My spine shifts its curve daily and sometimes a couple of times a day. I'm attending physical therapy but it isn't helping. Does anyone have any information on my injury? I am wondering whether I should try to get surgery. I hate walking with a limp and having a curved back.

Replies ocdbabe Posted at 3:00 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 My sister and I both have the same thing. My sister has had multiple back surgeries and the problem still isn't fixed. I went to a chiropractor and they did a 12 week program to fix the problem. It seemed to work, but my chiropractor called me fat so I left after 6 weeks. This was during the summer and the problem has just recently come back. GaelicFreak Posted at 2:41 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 I have the same issue. The physical therapy kept it from getting worse, and the chiropractor made it MUCH worse. In the end I got two epidurals and am doing better. Surgery is NOT the only option. It fucks you up. Try epidurals before surgery. Try anything before surgery. zamrambo Posted at 2:37 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 um, surgery. chiropractor would work better than therapist. hazeleyedangel Posted at 2:37 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 If physical therapy does not work after a few months, surgery is probably your only option.
