Hello all its been a while and I need some help. Pain is at all time high. Back & knees especially the left one. Started swimming a month ago and now the left shoulder. Latest is IBS. I eat & I have pain & I run to the loo. Did extensive tests and here are the results. I know you guys are not Drs. but would appreciate some feed back.
Knees
-Mild osteoarthritic changes to both knees more obvious in right side.
Lower back
-Minimal spondylolisthesis of L4/5 & L5/S1
-narrowing of L4/5 & L5/S1 disc spaces
-Mild sclerosis of L4/5 & L5/S1 facets
Neck
-Loss of normal cervical lordotic curve
-narrowing of C5/6 disc space with tiny marginal osteophyte formation
Uterus,
retroverted with several myomas. Largest is size 6.2 cm
Had a colonoscopy & it was negative.But I had a terrible 6 day bout of bleeding about 2 years ago for which I was hospitalised.
Cholesterol High.309 mg/dl
Still in a lot of pain in fact more now than ever but carrying on.
Drs are not sure whether the uterus is causing more pain i the back but the chances are quite high.
Would appreciate any comments.
Good Luck & Good Health

Thx Javizy. So you are suggesting that I get some physical therapy and at the same time think tms?
About the eating, I have always had a pretty good diet. Lots of fresh veg & fruit. Hardly anything fried, no chips no sweets so I am rather surprised at what is happening gut wise. There is a tendency to eat out rather a lot so maybe will monitor food habits more closely.
Anyone else like to comment please. some of you may know I've been in pain now for 10 yrs only getting worse. Thx.
Good Luck & Good Health

Sounds like you're being ravaged by muscle tension. Osteophytes are pretty much just a sign of bad posture. When your joints become misaligned through muscle imbalance, bone growth changes direction, so to speak, to compensate. Checking your hip position and strengthening your quads will probably get rid of them.
If you have a history of bowel problems, start reading up on them. Food sensitivities, inflammation, poor food mixing, poor chewing habits, weak muscles (in the same 'inner corset' that supports your back) etc can all cause you problems that are easily reversible. If you read any book on the matter you'll be sure to see a section on stress (same with many posture books), though, so we all know what your top priority remains to be  |
