help! i am a female, in my mid 50's. my mri showed mild cervical and lumbar stenosis, with multi-level degenerative disc disease. there was also multi level mild foriminal encroachment, and disc buldging. the pcp sent me to a physical therapist for exercises for my lumbar spine. the pt found that i have thoracic joint dysfunction and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. she saw that i could not do squats, either. could someone tell me if it is normal for a woman my age to have so much wrong with her spine? should the pcp try to find out what is causing the thoracic and sacroiliac joint dysfunction, before any mnore physical therapy? (i have had stiffness and pain in my sacral spine since 2001, and it has gotten progressively worse. i also have leg muscle pain and heaviness when i stand or walk, that is also getting progressively worse.) could i have spinal stenosis in my thoracic region? (it feels like a band of tightness around my chest, and i can not turn over in bed.) could i have sacral nerve compression? im sorry ur going through this......i cant answer ur questions as still looking my own answers but i can tell u what has helped me, i think u should also try it.................a natural drug recommended to me by pain consultant.......glucosamine sulphate.....also take cod liver oil capsuals..........although it is not a cure i felt alot more ease of general pain, bones/joints and muscles. please try them ! hopefully someone here will be able to answer ur questions ! i wish u well ! :) that sounds rough, i am sorry you aren't feeling well. my advice is just go to a different hospital to get a different view on your situation. please don't hold off on it, this problem really needs to be taken care of. Hello, good night Nur ...



  

Back pain can be caused by many possibilities, including;







disorders of the back muscles, for example due to incorrect body position when lifting heavy objects, improper posture when sitting, excessive stretching of the body, sudden and excessive body movements, and so on  

negligence in the spinal cushions, for example due to accidents / injuries that cause these cushions to change position, swell, or be damaged, so that the spinal nerves are pinched and cause pain  

spinal structural abnormalities, such as scoliosis, which is the condition where the spine curves to form the letter C or S  

Spinal infection  

Tumors / malignancies in the spine  

etc







  

Given the many possible causes of complaints, and remembering we also don't examine you directly, we cannot be certain of the conditions that cause the complaints you are experiencing. Therefore, we recommend that you see a doctor (more specifically an orthopedic doctor or neurologist), so that the doctor can perform a direct examination so that the diagnosis can be established. If needed, the doctor may suggest some additional investigations to help the diagnosis process, such as X-ray examination, MRI, CT-scan, and so on.



  

In the meantime, the following suggestions you can take at home while waiting for a doctor's schedule:







limit heavy physical activity, avoid lifting, pulling, or pushing heavy objects  

compress the area with a warm compress to help relieve pain  

if the pain is unbearable, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as paracetamol.  

improve your posture, avoiding too much downcast and tilting the body







  

That's all, hopefully it helps .. would advise an exam by your doctor to be sure. see more... grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck. Ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis or degenerative changes could be the factor. Therefore, mild to gentle chiropractic mobilization can improve ranges of motion and help with posture. most often it will dry up when you stop breast feeding. wear a supportive & comfortable bra. don’t stimulate breasts. can apply ice packs several times a day for 10 to 20 minutes at a time or use acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication as needed. see more...

Injury in sports or self-defense training is quite often experienced because in these activities quite a lot of things are at high risk of causing injury to certain body parts especially if not done in the right way and there is no good security during the activities carried out.



  

Even though there are no visible signs of injury in the area you are complaining about (such as bruising, swelling, or redness), it is still advisable to check the complaint further to the doctor to determine whether there is a serious injury that occurred to you due to the complaint indeed it can be caused by a broken rib / crack or an injury to the chest muscles.



  

After ascertaining what condition you are experiencing, then you can also determine what therapy should be given based on these conditions.



  

Meanwhile, if the complaint is felt to be very disturbing, you can try taking pain relievers such as paracetamol according to the dosage on the package or applying topical pain reliever to the painful area, until there is further advice from the doctor. It is not advisable to massage the painful area until there are other suggestions from the doctor who examined you.
