I would like to know if anyone could help me with what might be wrong with my back.
In 2000, I went to the doctor because my back was hurt and he told me one of my vertebrae in my back was out of place. It got better within 2 days and never bothered me again, but it is still out of place.

Well now the bottom of my spine hurts a lot and if I stand up for too long, when I go to sit down it feels like my spine is crushing itself. Its hard to describe it.
I also have problems with my legs hurting a lot, and I am pretty sure that the feeling in my right leg is not as sharp as the feeling in my left leg. I have complete use with it, and if I hit it, it hurts, but its just not as sharp a feeling as my left.

I went to a doctor last year and had x-rays done, he didn't look at my back himself or anything like that which I thought was weird.
He told me that he didn't see anything wrong, then he said that the bottom of my spine curves under a little more than most people.

My husband says u can feel and see the one part out of place when I bend, but I think the bottom of my spine it what hurting the most.

If anyone has anything they could tell me I would love to hear it, I don't know what it is, and I'm scared to go back to a doctor just to hear there is nothing wrong with me again.

Have you looked into sciatica? I'm not sure if that's spelled right?

No I haven't, I actually have never heard of that before.

I am a firm believer in chiropractors for back issues

I was a golfer, and I had some problems over the years with back pain as so many golfers do.

It is really important not to focus on being ill... that is the worst think you can do in life. If you just relax and do something pleasurable, you will forget about the back pain.

Enjoy Life!

Chasilver, request that he do a MRI to see exactly what is going on.
I have back problems that have worsened over the years and I have lost some feeling in my left leg.
Fr.chuck has a good idea about the chiropractor I have seen them from time to time and have gotten great relief. I like choux's idea but it doesn't always work for me.
