Suffring from severe back pain that goes to my legs. Doctors can not find the real reason?

I have that.. once so bad that my legs didn't work for nearly 6 months.. it's worse than giving birth and there is no relief. I don't know why either because I can not afford the tests.. 6 thousand dollars for pictures.. I don't care how fancy.. for that kind of money I want a new spine and my dishes done! I go to a chiropractor when it first starts to flare up and it doesn't last long now.. but when it flares up do not sit.. do not drive.. keep your back straight as much as possible.. lie down or stand.. but do not sit for any length of time.

I am sorry for your pain.. it cant be good and the fact that doctors dont know doesnt help.. Having lived with someone who suffered severe back pain etc.. I certainly have some undertanding of the life you are living...how debilitating it must be...

It certainly sounds like a nerve problem.. Are you able to get a referral to go and see a neurologist?

I wish you all the best..

IV'E had regular back pain for years.got to the point one time i had to call 911 because i couldn't move without pain.was told after all the test i had 2 buldging disc in my lower back.went to physical therapy 3 times a week for about 3 months.started to feel better.most doctors iv'e seen don't know to much about the back,one didn't even know how to read the MRI.doctors will give pills witch only mask the problem.long story short i purchased a inversion table.best money iv'e ever spent.only use it 5 mins a day.it made me start to feel better then my threapy and going to doctors ever did.you have something that maybe that can;t see on x rays or MRI'S assuming youv'e had all those test.i used to get that pain down both my legs too.if you do find out you have a disc problem,find a good therapist program,or try inversion.you need to decompress your spin,that could be whats causing the pain..good luck.

i have the same thing. I couldnt sit stand lay down or walk it hurt so bad. I was laying in bed and got my hips and back to crack. it relieved the pain and pressure. the doctor said that there was a disc pressing against a nerve. When ever i feel the pain coming on, i lay down on floor or bed and relax and then slowly move my hips until it pops
