Hi there, I am 19 years of age with chronic back pain since July 2014. I have been diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome (meaning my ligaments are more flexible than most people s ligaments which allows my bones to move in weird ways). In July I lay down on my couch which is nothing new and I couldn t get back up. Every day since then I have been on at least a 6 out of 10 on a pain scale and some days I am unable to walk and am on 10 out of 10 scale. I have been on various different pain relief medications such as Valium, lyrica, pain patches, kodeine based drugs, injections and since august 2014 I ve been on opiates daily. I have been for MRI scans and to consultants and to physio and acupuncture. I was advised to avoid chiropractic treatment by my GP as it would make me more unstable. I don t know what to do anymore as I am still very bad and I am wondering does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate any help I am so lost!! Thanks x
