So, my back has been hurting me since Tuesday. Originally I thought it was the way that I slept on Monday night but then when I woke up with the same backache again on wednesday and every other day after that I figured that something must be up. Do you think it could be my mattress? Is it something that I should be worried about? Should I see a doctor? Ugh.

Re: Backache?
It definitely could be from your mattress. Did you do anything to cause trauma to your back lately? I have chronic back pain and have been getting treatment from a chiropractor for a while which helps a lot. But, if you're not sure what the pain is caused from, I would recommend you see your regular doctor over a chiropractor if you are concerned. What area of your back is bothering you?

Re: Backache?
I'm trying to think back. The pain started Tuesday morning, which was the last day of my period so it couldn't be that. It's a centralized pain, mid back and a little to the right. I've gotten back pain like this before but it was usually from sleeping in the wrong position and the next night it had gone away. It's going on 6 days now and sometimes I get shooting pains going up and down my back where I can't even sit down. It's definately annoying.

Re: Backache?
Does the pain radiate down to your hip or leg?

Re: Backache?
you should definitely see a chiropractor....
its probably just a sprain or strain but there is always a chance it maybe something more, like a disc herniation, especially if you have traveling pain or any hip or leg pain, or numbness or tingling
the older we get the longer it takes our bodies to heal... so while we had aches and pains before and they always go away in a day or two, that all changes as we age.
also you only have one body so i would cherish it and take care of it, cuz you cant trade it in like a old car.....
FM if you have any questions or would like a chiropractor recommendation in your area
