Case Summary  |  My own personal cure for back pain

Hello my name is Justin Beck and I have been working construction for over 20 years. I am in my early 40's now and all the hard years of labor are finally starting to catch up with me. Every morning I wake up to a sore back and sometimes it becomes unbearable. I went to a doctor for a evaluation and I was told that I have Paget's Disease. This disease effects the lower back , and is caused by bleeding or infection in the pelvis, infection of the cartilage or of the spine. There no know cure for this form of back pain so my doctor referred me to a Massage Therapist. The massage therapy increases circulation to the muscles where I have the most pain . Also it helps break up adhesions, or knots, which are the many contributors to back pain. So far my back pain is slowly starting to fade away and I do not have as much pain as I used to. My doctor also prescribed me 500mg of vicodin. I try not to take the vicodin because I do not want to become addicted. I only take the pills about once or twice a week, the the pain becomes unbearable. I am also looking to acupuncture, but I have always been afraid of needles, and I find the whole procedure a little creepy. But if I do decided to go threw with the acupuncture I will update you all on the outcomes.

Thank You
