I started developing back problems around the age of 15. I started to see a chiropractor-- I had a pinched nerve. The chiropractor did help me.
In 2001, I had a car accident in which I was rear ended by a Verizon truck when I was at a complete stop. My back was never the same again. I ended up with some bulging discs. After the car accident I recieved an MRI, testing from a neurlogist, and lots of chiropractic and acupuncture treatment.
My back hurts daily. I get pain in the one spot that I have had since I was 15-- from the pinched nerve. The pain is not limited to one area-- upper, lower, mid. It is always changing. Some days I get pain that travels down my arms into my fingers. Sometimes down my legs. My depression and anxiety makes it so much worse-- my husband can barely massage my shoulders because they are so tight that it ends up hurting his hands.
What should I do? Should I just go back to a chiropractor? Who do you think I should see?
