What Causes Persistent Chronic Pain In The Back?

For months my back has been hurting and I thought it was just a muscle strain. When it continued past four months it became more intense and difficult now to turn over in my sleep. It is worse at night then during the day when I am in movement. Today though the pain has gone up my back and making it harder to take a breath without a minor amount of pain. I don t have insurance, it s too expensive for this hard-working independent, American woman. Help!

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
This is back pain probably for discal hernia or discitis that may need examinations such as MRI etc.
In your condition since you do not have any insurance and can not do these examinations, I would recommend to start some exercises at home to strengthen your core muscle , back and abdominal. You can do these exercises in home and do not even need to go in gym. It will need at least 3 month to see and efect but stick with it.
I wish you quick recovery.
Dr. Selmani
