OT – Best mattress

[Enorah]

jp, I had lower back pain on and off for years. I came to understand that it was a manifestation of feeling unsupported in my life. At the same time I was healing those issues emotionally, we purchased a Simmons (spent more money on that bed than anything else at that point in my life).

No lower back pain since.

Oh and yoga

Oh and I quit smoking

Much healing sent to you.

jp,

You might want to try a naturopathic doctor. The idea behind naturopathic medicine is to find the **source** of the problem, rather than try to mask the symptoms with pharmaceuticals. They focus on diet, exercise, herbal remedies, massage, accupuncture, etc. (different doctors may focus on different methods). Insurance might not cover it, but it’s worth checking into.

I also go to an accupuncturist and LOVE it. Worth every penny. You might want to look into a flexible spending account. At least that way, you can avoid paying taxes on the amount in your account. You just have to be sure to use it every year, as most accounts have a “use it or lose it” policy. Talk to someone who knows more about it to be sure of all the details (coverage, qualifying standards, etc.).

We have a Simmons Beautyrest on a wooden platform and really like that as well. Can’t sleep on anything else.

Good luck!

Just to add, my back problem is not the typical low back. It is the upper thoracic area. nostradamus was close. That’s why I suspected gallstones. But 2 ultrasounds say no. At least regular medicine w/their tests are good for ruling out what it could be. I know I didn’t hurt myself at the gym. MRI ruled out any disc problems. Thought it might be work-related, typing for many hours on the computer. Nothing cervical. Neurologist did some tests. No numbness or tingling in arms/fingers. The mystery continues.

Maybe I’ll try a naturopathic doctor. I am already trying to heal myself, taking supplements, MSM, EFA, CoQ10, Vitamin C, Glutamine. When I suspected digestive problems, I was taking peppermint oil, ginger and digestive enzymes.

So folks…At approximate what age can I look forward to having all these back problems? 🙂

Seriously though. I never use to complain about my back being sore. But carrying around an extra 30+lb weight (err, I mean kid) nearly everywhere I go, my back has seen better days. 

 When did most of you starting seeing problems? Should I go see a doc early?
