A member asked:
Why did my xray come back normal when my back hurts 24/7 and i can barely bend it? i've fallen on it twice; xrays were normal both times.

Back injuries: X-rays are good to evaluate for bony injuries. Unfortunately, they are not good at evaluating injuries to the tissues/muscles. If you have been treated for your injury with anti inflammatories and are not improving, you may need to be reevaluated for other treatment options such as physical therapy.
