Back Pain Support Group
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. In fact, about 3 in 4 adults will experience back pain during their lifetime! The term back pain includes pain affecting the neck, midback and low back. Acute back pain may begin suddenly with intense pain but typically lasts fewer than three months.

I recently saw my cousin Dawn in absolute agony with her back. I don,t like seeing her like this. She told me that she has severe pain in her back and it also goes down her leg. She has a crumbling spine. Her doctors have told her there is nothing they can do as she has had painkillers. She was told she could not have an op. What are your experiences? Do you think anything can be done for her? I hope there is an answer somewhere. She is always being prayed for but she has been suffering for a long time now. Thanks.
Check out medical articles that are about conditions similar to your cousin's. If you find one that sounds well written see if you can get in contact with the author. I found a gyn specialist that way when I was first diagnosed with endometriosis. I emailed him, and then he actually gave me his number and agreed to review my case.
He had agreed to do my surgery if I wanted to, but he was in Italy (which I didn't want to travel all the way to). So he recommended several people in the US to me. AND was I grateful and lucky because up until that point I was getting a lot of bum advice from non specialists in my area.
So see if you can reach out to anyone doing medical research, or medical articles. If they can't help you they may know someone who can and refer you.
Good luck!
