Very bad back pain! Can you plese help?!
Question: I have had this lower back pain for almost a year now. It used to be to the very left of my tail bone and it got so bad that I couldnt walk, but now its still in my lower back, but just above the tailbone. It hurts really bad, and sometimes it dosnt hurt that bad it just feels annoying like it needs popped. I had my husband try to pop it, but it wont, and i think that makes it feel worse! I went to the doc about it last year and he just said that I have this flare up thing that should only happen once in a while(he said if my bone gets irritated it swells sometimes) or something like that, and he acted like it was no big deal. But, it hurts pretty bad now, and I dont know what to do or what it could be?

Go to a different dr! You could have a ruptured disc. The only way to do diagnose it is a CT scan/MRI. You might need surgury. Going to a chiropractor or having someone "crack" your back could make it worse if you have a ruptured disc. Please get the MRI first.
I had much the same pain but a chiropractor got rid of it with only a couple of sessions. It may work for you.
