I went to a doctor along time ago and he cracked my back but made me worse. I guess at my age of 36 a back brace can't be used. I was told when I was young to wear my back brace and I did for 6 months. I only took it off to take a bath. I did notice that when I did have the brace off I could hardly stand up. The doc told my dad at the time he wanted me in the back brace for 6 more months and I said no way man. My dad said too bad and so for a little while I wore the brace, then took off from home. I did not have my back brace with me. I did not want to wear it anymore all day long. When I went to see another back doctor with my mom he said he would be happy if I just wore the back brace at night, he said otherwise when you get older you are going to have a lot of back problems. I did not wear the brace I was young and did not like wearing it, now I am 36 and a back brace is not going to help me now. I have a 75 degree curvature in my back.
Now I am in back pain a lot. I am afraid to get my back cracked again after the last time. I think that doc might
have made me worse than I was. I really don't know what to do at this point. Then with bone loss, that does not help matters, only makes it worse than it already is.
I am not so sure I trust someone else with my back. Though this pain I am in I have to do something. And get this I can't take a lot of pills it makes me very sick, there is very little I can take for pain. I could see getting a pain medication, then I can't take it because I was allergic to the pill. I even have to be careful taking asprin. I hope I can take Advil and not die. LOL
