Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I've been having lower back pain for awhile now and have just about completed two months of PT. This has helped alot but has not completely solved the problem. The therapist believes the problem to be in the SI joint area which was confirmed by my ortho. My xrays look good with no arthritis. The fusion looks good also. The doctor believes my issue to be " transfer pain " (the SI joints are now taking the stress that was formerly taken by my unfused spine). He's given me Mobic which I think is an anti-inflamatory. We'll see how well that works. On one hand, I'm glad that I have a treatment plan. On the other, I don't like the feeling my back is giving me until that stuff starts to work. If the Mobic doesn't work, its a cortisone shot for me and I'll see how well that works.
