Back pain, to live with or check out further

[Guest guest]

Hey all, its 1:12 in the morning, and I just read through all the

posts since my last grouped messages.

I have several things that cause me incredible pain, and I just had a

total body scan to see if my doctor could figure out what all was

happening with my body.

I am extremely overweight, but cannot exercise even if I was in good

enough shape due to the fact that I have a disease that will cause

the connective tissues in my body to tear under any exercise.

So in the scan they found problems with c4/c5, and I cannot stand

more than a few minutes at a time. I haven't pursued this further

than just getting the report back, because I have so much pain

elsewhere, I figured whats the use.

However, I am wondering if I shouldn't pursue it with other doctors,

and if so, which kind I should see. All though the other

disease/problems I have will not improve unless there is a real

medical miracle, do you think it is worth my time to follow up on the

back pain? I just don't know, I am dazed and confused, often

spending 24 hours at a time in bed, with exception of using the

bathroom.

Anyone with any advice on the back prob will be greatly appreciated.

I probably sound real silly here, but I am very medicated, and really

would like some friends, help, encouragement, advice.
