Lower Back Pain in Chicago

[cyberlearn]

My lower back has been hurting for several years. Chiro doesn't help. Nor does physical therapy. It's not a disc problem or anything like that. Advil helps but only to mask some of the pain. Any ideas?!

I'm going through the same situation. Had an X-Ray taken and according to my Primary Doc. I have constipation even though I'm able to have bowel movements. I'm not able to fully evacuate. This apparently comes along with having Colitis. I'll be seeing my Gastro this week and will discuss options with him. Until then my Primary Doc suggested taking Stool softener at bedtime and the occasional laxative. Hope that this helps you.
