My doctor and the physical therapist who is treating me both think my low back pain is coming from the spinal joint. Whats the best treatment for a problem like this?
• I’m having some pain in my low back (just on one side). Usually I can put my finger right on the spot. But sometimes it seems to move up or down a little. A few times, I could feel the pain clear to my knee. Is this a sign that the nerve is getting pinched or what? • Fear-avoidance beliefs (FABs) is a fairly new concept. But it’s one that researchers have validated as real and potentially harmful. FAB is the notion that activity and/or movement is going to cause more pain and reinjury in someone with low back pain (LBP). Studies are being done to see if this same idea applies to neck pain as well. • I hurt my back on the job last week. The occupational physician at our worksite has encouraged me to keep working and stay active. My own family doctor advises rest and avoiding any movement or activities that make the pain worse. Now I don’t know what to do. Which way should I go? • I am a second-generation Asian American. My grandmother lives with us and needs surgery for her back. Afte
