How do. i get help for back pain that has been going on for 23years.? i have had abrasions and steroid shots. none seem to help.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
23 years?: That is a very long time to suffer from back pain. Unfortunately, there is probably no single good answer. You will most likely deal with some level of pain forever but there are things to try to be more functional. If you are overweight, do everything possible to lose weight. Try chiropractic, accupuncture and yoga / pilates. Go slow, don't quit! www.myfitnesspal.com Good luck!
