My back went out while making the bed 4 weeks ago. There have been slight periods of recovery but then I slip back into a pain so bad I can't do much of anything. I was in construction years ago and suffered from lower back pain numerous times. A chiropractor and pain pills would have me back the job within a few days. The last tie my back went our was in 1996. So this is a concern and just one more of my many health issues. I am going to be 68 yrs old tomorrow. I take a little longer to heal these days but am finding this recovery time to be ridiculously long.

I'll call my primary physician and request a phone appt. This is provided for no cost thru my Kaiser plan.
