Ive been told that the chronic low back pain I have can actually change the pain circuits in the spinal cord and brain. If thats true, is there any hope Ill ever get back to normal?
• I’ve been going to a new pain clinic that specializes in low back pain. They seem to have the approach that I need to work through the pain. I thought the idea that no pain, no gain was no longer used. • I’ve been having some trouble with back pain that’s affecting my work. We do have a company (occupational) doctor. I’m wondering if I should just go see my regular doctor who knows me better. Do you think it matters? • I’ve been off work for two weeks because of low back pain. I took my doctor’s advice and rested for a day. Then I tried to keep active and move a little bit every hour. I’m ready to go back to work. Should I ease back into it? Or do I just pick up where I left off? That idea makes me more than a little nervous. • I went to see my family doctor for a sudden problem with back pain. She basically held my hand and did nothing. What kind of help is that? Should I go see a specialist? What kind of doctor do you recommend?
