Severe Lower Back Pain On Right Side Only. NEED HELP!!!!!?
I am 45 female. This is actually my first time I have wrote into these forums. I have read so many to try and get issues solved with my problem and I am hoping I can get some answers here because god knows I am not getting answers from my Dr. I have this lower back pain for a wk now on my right side. Didn't strain it in anyway by lifting, just kinda started out of the blue. It has been a wk now and it has traveled down to my right butt area and down my leg but the major pain is in lower back. It is worse after I get up from sitting. The buttocks and leg pain isn't constant only when I do certain things, but the lower right side back pain is horrible!!. It is constant and almost like on fire and I have been finding myself rolling my hand into a fist and just pushing in on it and rubbing in a circular motion but it sometimes makes my leg numb by doing that. I have experienced now since last night a pain in my right side pelvic area like in the front kinda by my inner thigh. Went to Dr yesterday and he said I had a spasm....I don't believe that, when I have had chronic back pain forever and have just always dealt with it, but this is different. I have never had this before. I was diagnosed with Scoliosis when I was 12 and my mother sent me to a chiro, who in returned I think messed me up even more. When my mother couldn't afford it anymore she decided to be the Chiro and walk on my back every night..remind you I was 12. I am 45 yrs female now and I know I am getting older but this pain is not going away. I was giving Flexeril and then yesterday given DICLOFENAC SODIUM 75MG EC TABLETS and this isn't working either. I have to work and cant sit at home but the pain is not going away and these walk in clinics don't really listen. I don't have any insurance thanks to my new job not telling me when open enrollment is so now I have to wait til Jan 2012, so I cant afford to go to Dr and ask for MRI or anything. Any suggestions from you guys will help me out. Thanks and only serious answers please.

1. Hi Paula,Ice for 20 min (2-3 times a day) and rest for the next 3-5 days. Ibuprophen tends to help too. You probably need to get involved with one of the newly developed "exercises for scoliosis" rehab sometime after your recover from this "back attack" episode.
2. arm straight in fron of you palm away from your face fingers pointing up flex your neck ( look up ) with the other hand pull the fingers pointing up back towards your face switch hands repeat. and beguin to swing your head side to side.
this is how you self massage your lower back
your welcome!
3. see an hio method chiropractor. there is no hope of correction if you do not.
