Severe back pain that comes and goes?!
Question: Severe back pain that comes and goes!?
Okay so I have had back pain in the same spot for about 3 years now, I haven't seen a doctor yet because the pain will come and go!. It will come and stay for about 2-3 weeks maybe a month sometimes, and then go away for about 2-3 months, then return in the same spot, each time it seems to be getting more severe and more painful, I get short punches of pain that will knock the wind out of me for about 1-2 seconds, I am supposed to be seeing a doctor soon, I was just wondering if this is anything serious or if I should worry!.
The pain is in my left mid-back!.
Please answer seriously and thank you very much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be DDD, Degenerative Disk Disease!. I had the same type of problem!. I eventually had spinal fusion!. I had a disk that had deteriorated to the point that it was bone on bone!. And no, pain meds did NO good!. The only way to determine a bad disk is an MRI!. Once a disk has been identified, a diskogram may be performed to see if there is a tear!.
Good luck!. Personally, I am a new man with only minimal pain!. It's arthritis!. I'll always be able to "feel" it!. However, I only wish I hadn't waited so long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
