A member asked:
I'm having extreme lower back pain, and shoulder pain. it's warm and swollen, should i go to the doctors? any suggestion?

Go to doc now: hopefully you have gone by now, but something that is warm and swollen means infection or inflammation until proven otherwise. You need diagnosis first, then treatment
