Oh yes, MRIs are so expensive! Maybe a simple x-ray will be sufficient, though.
*Please* don't wait for it to get worse. Why risk a life-long battle with chronic pain when it could be something fixable if it's treated early? If you think it's expensive now, wait to you see the bills for a life-long condition! Please don't wait.
i'm tryin to get to a doctor actually it's just so hard to pay for the mri and test that need to be done to look at your bones i was just try'n to make sure it was not life threating...
but i no it has to be look at i was just waiting for it to get worse so maybe i could make it an emergency situation and then have the x-rays done or whatever.....thank you for your reply.....
Have you been to see your doctor? It sounds like you're self-diagnosing and only succeeding in scaring yourself. :)
If you did something to your back during the sanding, that pain probably changed the way you walk, stand, sit, etc. This, in turn, could cause stress on your hips, knees, ankles, etc. which means the pain "travels" from one joint to the next.
I would urge you to get to a doctor and get checked out. If you did indeed hurt your back, you don't want to let it go and just hope it gets better.
