Back pain

[ryan393]

I have been going to a chiropractor for several weeks and my back is starting to feel better, until two days ago. All of a sudden my back pain intensified and I have trouble sleeping because of it. Its unusually bad. I think its has to do with my walking.I started taking the dog for a walk a week ago and it seems to hurt my back a lot.  Its a dull ache at the bottom of my spine. The chiropractor claims that my pain is due to one leg being slightly longer. I have had kidney stones that required three operations to get rid of and I had hydronophrosis(I don't know how to spell it) at birth. I've been to a urologist, an orthopedic, physical theorapy, and now a chiropractor. The chiropractor has helped me the most, but I still get a lot of pain. If I were an aging man this would make sense, but I am a 17 year old boy. That's really different. I can't sit, stand, or walk without hurting. Also my back is starting to hurt when I lay down. I've had nearly every test. I also get pain in my wrists, so my chiropractic wants me to get a blood test to make sure I don't have any inflammation... which the truth is, any diagnosis that works is fine with me at this point.

Have you looked into treatments for Leg Length Discrepancy, because a tilted pelvis can be a result of LLD? How does the Chiropractor propose fixing this and what did your other Doctors think of this diagnosis?

I have had X-rays and MRI's, which really haven't shown much. One image of my pelvis showed that my pelvis was tilted slightly due to a longer leg, but that's the only problem fond.

Have you had any imaging tests such as X-rays or and MRI? This testing might be useful in finding out what exactly the problem is.

It's a lot easier to effectively treat something, when you have an idea what it is, and no surgery is not an option for you at your age.
