    Back and free from pain !!!!!

    For the past year I have been troubled with a chronic back pain and did nothing in the shop. Well after a year of doctors visits with spinal specialists, general doctors and a chiropractor, we found out the constant pain was probably coming from kidney stones.

    Cat-scan revealed 3 large marble sized stones on left kidney. Off to the hospital I go to get cut open. They pulled them bad boys out and now I feel GREAT.

    Amazing that after all the specialists I went to the chiropractor found the problem on an x-ray. Even more amazing is how much the pain changes your outlook and behavior.

    Wood and crooks watch out cause here I come.

    Glad you're feeling better. All too often it takes way too long for someone to get a proper diagnosis.

      I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. Been missing your posts. I did think about you during the BB sweep SA did! Get back into the swing of things and join back in the fun here.

        Jeff,

        Glad to have you back. I can't believe it took them a year to decide you had kidney stones. I have had 5 different episodes with them and I can't begin to imagine going a year with that kind of pain.

        Well all is good. Now go make some saw dust.

          Glad to hear your back, and doing better. It always gets me how something in one part of your body is the real pain in another part.

            Jeff, I'm new to the site, but not new to back pain. I've battled it since I was 17, but nothing like what most have come from kidney stones.

            Back pain is a booger, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Well, not forever, anyway.

            Hope you give the bad guys all kinds of headaches.
            - Chris.

              Good to see you back, Chief. I was wondering what happened to you.

              Sounds like you got lucky. Back surgery ain't no fun at all.

                        Anytime you can fix back pain without surgery that's great news! Wonder how often that's missed.

                          I'm actually not amazed. Today's doctors are primarily chemists and are incredibly ignorant of human anatomy and the human nervous system. Chiropractors study those topics far more than medical doctors. While MDs are learning to name a zillion body parts from memory, chiropractors are learning how the body structure interacts.

                          I too have experienced back pain that baffled medical doctors, but was instantly, and properly diagnosed by a chiropractor.
