I have never had any back problems before but right after an auto accident I have been having persistent lower back pain. Pain that affects the way I go, how long I sit, lifting 10+ pounds, etc. I had a MRI done which showed mild arthritis & inflamation, other than that MRI is normally. They are referring me to pain management b/c the pain is intense, I usually lose 1 to 3 days a week from the pain. This doesn’t seem right to me, why would I just start hurting like this? Thanks.

My elderly relative has a (she thinks) muscular pain in her back – (has been in hospital lately and they didn’t reckon it was anything other than a muscular pain) but she’s on Warfarin and so can only take Paracetamol.
The pain is really persistent and it would be fantastic if I could find some other option that I could then suggest to her GP. (No excellent suggesting exercise as she’s not very mobile at present). Advice appreciated.

My pain management clinic scheduled me to have one in two weeks for my severe low back pain that radiates into my right leg. Can anyone tell me what to expect from it? Do they help? Is it painful? I had a cortisone injection by my ribs for nerve pain months ago and that didn’t help, so I was wondering if this is different cause my back pain is getting excrutiating.

Can anyone recommend a excellent pain management Dr in Washington state (King or Snohomish Counties)?
I get chronic Migraines and take oxycontin 40mg 4 times a day. I want to switch doctor because I am moving near these counties. what is the name of your doctor? what kind of pain do you have ? and what are you prescribed for it?

i am 24 and i have been suffering from lower back pain for nearly a year now, im seeing a pain management doctor, but i want to know something that will work that will keep me from popping pain killers all the time.
