Back pain

For the past two weeks I've has pretty intense back pain. I've had this type of lower back pain before, but none of the "usual" fixes seem to be working. Of course, being the good patient I am, I reported this to my oncologist. And because he is the thorough oncologist that he is, he sent me for an MRI. I had the scan today and fortunately the results do not show cancer. Whew...

But the pain is still here and I need to figure out how to get rid of this pain. I have a massage tomorrow and I will get a copy of the MRI report on Monday and start the search for back pain relief. I really hope I can find a relatively easy way to get this episode under control so that I can enjoy my chemo-free week.

Pain has got to be one of the hardest issues I've dealt with on this cancer journey. Pain makes me crazy and makes everything else seem so much worse. I have been feeling good and so this pain thing is cramping my style. I just want a bit of relief so that I can enjoy my days. Is that too much to ask?

Have you tried yoga? I've done a very basic 30 minute yoga cd a few times lately and what I love is how it helps my back pain.

I am going to give yoga a try. Right now I am just trying to get through the acute pain that makes me miserable. I started a steroid dose pack and a pain patch today. Hopefully I'll have some significant relief in the next couple of days.

What about some oil liniment from natural herbs? Have you tried to apply it to affected area in your back pain? I have back pain, i've been suffering for almost 5 months. I found my sister a good liniment and it's guaranteed pain reliever and that's what i've use right now. It's from all natural ingredients.

Most back pains are cause by strains or sprains. These injuries are brought on by overuse, a new activity, an accident or excessive lifting. Other times a compressed nerve, such as a herniated disk, may be to blame for the back pain.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing.
