Oh My Aching Back

I need some advice. I have the worst backache ever and have had it on and off for a week. It is in my lower back but also in between my shoulder blades. I am constantly cracking my back or taking some medicine. I am in school and sitting all day on those hard plastic chairs does not help. I have been to a chiropractor but it is sort of expensive and i can only go like 2 times a month. Also when I crack my back only the lower part cracks. I can not get the upper part to crack. I also have a lot of tension and stress in my life. Could that be causing the backache at all?

You have to be careful with chiroprators. You don't want to make your back worse. Get a referral from your internist to see a back specialist.

I've had the same for years so i finally went to see an osteo they think I have Scheuermann's disease, which is basically a curved upper spine. The lower back pain is your spine bending the other way to compensate! Osteopaths do cost quite a bit though so I'll just tell you how i crack my upper back (sometimes my chest goes too) stand on your bed and if you can reach the roof of your room put your hands on it and push as you do this push your chest out. It doesn't always work and can really hurt. but the pain does go for a while.
