All I know is that the pain is getting worse and more frequent, and that it’s making life difficult. I don’t know if my problem can get better on its own over time, and/or what to expect at the specialists. In the meantime, she’s given me T3s, but they give me horrible insomnia and don’t last through the night. That means to get any kind of specialist appointment takes months. That one is constant throughout the day.Īnyway, after getting the results, the doctor agreed to let me see an orthopedic specialist. That type of pain is more dull and somewhat feels like muscular pain. Needless to say, it’s making child-rearing difficult and much less enjoyable than it should be! Also, during the day, and in the evenings when I first get into bed, I have moderate-severe pain in my mid-back.

Things get a bit better during the day, except that those stabbing pains return when I stand from sitting, walk on uneven ground, or, for example, try to put the baby in his crib. And in the mornings, I have trouble getting out of bed and getting dressed as I am in so much pain and also so stiff. I wake up with severe, stabbing pains in my low back which radiates outwards towards the hips whenever I move at night (which is dozens of times). Anyway, it came back, and shows some issues.īefore I recopy the results, I want to describe the type of pain I’ve been having. Although reluctant she agreed to do an MRI. I was very frustrated as I know myself, and knew those weren’t muscle spasms. Nothing came up except moderate disk space narrowing in the lumbar region. However, in the past nine months, the lower back pain has morphed into something else. I’ve had some mild-moderate pain for the past 10 or so years, and have been seeing a chiropractor with some success. I am a 31 year-old female in otherwise good health.
