Having major back issues, specifically sciatica and lumbar. Any one dealt with this and have tips? Taking too much Advil and Tylenol, physical therapy and chiropractor too. Some days I think I’m better, others in miserable amounts of pain.

I dealt with that for a year. After an MRI, they realized that I had a ruptured disk. See an orthopedic doctor or back specialist.

Thank you. Back dr sent me to physical therapy, going back for follow up dr appt next week, I hope next step is MRI.

May I ask how long you have been seeing a chiro? And conclusions from primary doc?

Back doctor? What kind of doctor do you mean? I suppose what I’m asking is what you were told the actual issue is, and the underlying cause. What were the reasons for sending you for physical therapy and chiropractic treatment? The outcomes and timelines will vary depending on what you are being treated for, but generally speaking, consistency and commitment are key to seeing success with chiropractic care.
