The diagnosis is finally in and my doc is telling me that I have arthritis in my middle back. I am only 32 and I wonder how this is going to effect me for the rest of my life. My grandfather had arthritis really bad especially in his back, which come to find out is kind of rare. I know that it was very dibilitating for him.
Anyway, I could tell that my doc still had reservations about giving me pain meds so I could sleep through the night, but I don't know what else to do. And I think that he is at a loss also. I am scheduled for the cortisone shot Monday, I will let everyone know how it turns out. And by the way, to all, thanks for your posts. You guys are great.
