Lower back pain,hip leg feet

I have been having what I thought was hip pain for several years getting progressivly worse. I recently was seen in the ER for pain as I could barely walk the pain was so severe. The doc that saw me said it was lower back pain from "to much movement in the vertabrae" He stated this would continue and that I should see a pain management specialist??  I have constant pain in my lower back radiating into my hips on both sides. somedays down into my legs stopping about the knees. My feet and toes tend to feel as though they are asleep on occasion, my big toe and my little toe on both feet feel asleep quite often. These symptoms are daily, they do not get better with movement rest exersize anything if anything I spend most of the day constantly changing positions walking whatever I can to allieviate some of the pain. In the last couple of weeks I have started getting a stabbing needle like pain higher up in the middle of my spine it comes and goes nothing in particular seems to trigger it. I have been to doctors some (most) say "pulled muscles then give pills. some, like the ER doc say "to much vertebrae movement" what the heck does this mean? who do I go to, to find out what this is, what is causing it, and how to fix it?

It can be a long road, I've been down it. So educated your self on this and dont always listen to one doctors opinion. Solving this partially depends on your gained knowledge, as doctors are not the best at this.

There are pain doctors that specialize in structural body pain. They have varied fancy tittles in their profession. They are knowledgeable and often send you off to other specialists.  First step is to figure out the reason for the pain - many times this is impossible but you can narrow it down.

1) was it from one accident?
2) are both legs the same length - a chiro can tell
3) any foot injurys causing you to walk weird?
4) you need at least an x-ray to look for crooked vertebrate and its location with the pelvis, and to see the location of the SI joint (sacrum illiac) - your tailbone
5) MRI will show how your discs are in shape or not.
6)blood tests can confirm RA or Ankolosis Spondilitis - inportant to rule out.

It is proven that strengthening the vertical muscles on both sides of the vertebrae can help. There is one brand of machine in the US that does this better than the others. You need to ask a phyical therapy clinic if they have the med-x machine, and see what doctors have recommended patient to see them - sometimes going backwards will get you an understanding doctor. This machine helps a lot but not always 100%, it is worth it for most people verses other types of physical therapy.

Then there are injections which I have no experience with.

Chiropractic can get your bones and joints back where they belong. But you have to ask yourself what is causing the miss alignment? Tight muscles can and will pull joints back to their painful locations. NEVER sign up with a chiro that sells you a timed program ahead of time- these are quacks and thieves! They prey on people in pain. A good and honest chiro only charges per visit as needed and will not lie like telling you they can cure everything - they cant.

Hopefully this will give you some ideas.
