Phil,
Keep us posted. I pray wisdom for the doctor... enoughs enough with this
thing. My wife has been tired and battling tense muscles in the back and
etc. for quite sometime too. If she doesn't get this under control soon,
I'm setting her up at mayo Clinic for a physical exam. She's tired alot,
sometimes achy, headache due to tense tight muscles in the back and neck,
numbness and tingling in the arms/fingers. She's had this for a while too,
probably better than a year where it is pretty bothersome, but longer with
a couple fingers numb or tingling. The Ciatic nerve you suspect can be
pretty painful, but I'd guess more treatable than vertebrae not in single
file.

Well, as of tomorrow, I will have been to our family doctor three times,
the
chiropractor three times, and had physical therapy three times. The pain
in
my lower back, and especially now in hip and left leg is about the
same. My
back actually seems to feel ok but it is something related to my back
because if I lay down, my hip and leg stop hurting. When I get up in the
morning, within 15 to 30 seconds, all the pain comes back in a hurry.
According to the medical descriptions of sciatica I have found on google,
I
have all the symptoms. Yesterday, Tuesday, I to physical therapy and she
worked on various spots of my spine. When I left, I was hurting worse
than
ever so she must have been working in the right spots. However, I am
going
to our doctor tomorrow because the pain does come and go but it is present
more than it is absent and when I am feeling it, as I am right now, the
pain
is impossible to describe due to its sharpness and depth. So, since it
has
been six weeks and something is still wrong, I want to find out what is
wrong. I'd appreciate your prayers that they could find out exactly what
is
going on and why and that I can find a treatment for it that will put
things
back to normal.
Phil.
