[RC] back pain - A. PerezHaving had a severely ruptured disc, my advise to anyone suffering chronic back pain is to get your physician to order an MRI to rule out a herniated or ruptured disc. Xrays cannot show disc problems, and chiropractic adjustments, Rolfing etc *MAY* make things worse. Prolonged pressure on nerves from a ruptured disc can cause irreversable nerve damage, so PLEASE get an MRI done if back pain continues for more than a couple of weaks! Been there, done that, have the scar to prove it! ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
