She is very lean one and school going – no sport activity, no interest in jogging/walk. Always travel in Car/Bus no physical activity, we are worried about her future…We went to many doctors even lady doctors too, for a short period she feels relief, than start again…If anyone knew any alternate cure (Herb/Vegetable/fruits etc.) except Medical treatment please reply…we shall be thankful to U all..

i’m 17 years old and have been suffereing from severe lower back pain for over a year. my doctor says its just a herniated/inflammed SI joint, but the pain is ridiculous! xray came back normal, MRI showed 3 slightly bulging disks (not the cause of my pain because those disks dont touch any nerves)
i’m on 3 different meds, i’ve tried physical therapy, a chiropractor, prednisone steroid pack, cold laser treatments, EVERYTHING!
my last option is a cortisone injection into my SI joint, should i even bother?
anyone know from experience how well they work?
do i have any other options?

At times I feel the need to have pressure on my back, why?

I have felt this need ever since April 20,2003.I was 13 years old and in a short term mental health hospital and I got physicaly aggressive with a staff and he put me in a physical restraint.He basically just knelt all his weight(250 lbs.)on my back for about 5 minutes.Before this I saw other kids in restraints and they were screaming and crying because they were in pain.But for some reason I liked the feeling of being in a restraint.Now its November 8,2006 and I am 17 years old and in a RTF(Residential Treatment Faculity)which is a long term placement for children and Teens with mental health problems.I have been at over 20 more hospitals and in over 50 more restraints lasting from 5 minutes through 6 hours.I’ve went threw about 5 therapists and so far no one has figured out why I have this need.I am almost an and I really want to have a normal life.So I have not been in a restraint since January but I still feel that I need it.Please someone help me,anyone I just want a life.
