Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I know that many of us have back problems. I for one have many problems that need specific care. I use this web site for knowledge before I go to my doctor. When you have questions about your symtoms & can express them to your doctor ( your understanding of your condition ) You may find like me that your doctor is a quack!!!! Ask the questions & study all the site prior to your doctor visit. Cronic pain does lead to depression & the pain problems must first be taken care of prior to the mental problems that arise. Feel free to ask your doctor for a referal to a spine specialist if you seem to not get the treatment you really need. Many of the problems we have result in spinal disorders or diseases. Many doctors are not specificaly trained in this issue. I have studied this site intensely & have found many articles relating to my problems. I recently went to a " shrink " & she admited that I have mental problems due to severe back pain & needed treatment for that problem to eleviate the mental stress. Suicide, high blood preasure, migrain head aches among other factors are involved. If you are suffering from mental problems due to the pain, See a psycologist. I won my SSI at least for a short term doing just this. Meds are not the answer & doctors seem to think it is in our heads many times. Addiction to many of the meds are frequent & should be avoided. Get the real help you need in your problem & seek the professionals that understand the problem & can treat it correctly. Meds may mask the problem but understanding it is up to you & a rwal doctor that knows the problems & can treat them. Here is that link I told you about & study it well!!!! Remember not all doctors are quacks & a handfull will treat your problem the right way!!! http://www.spineuniverse.com/ Wish you all the best & God speed!!!!!
