I had an injury about 2 years ago. It was primarily located in my mid-back region. The first day I felt burning and pain. Now it has been two years. A large muscl knot has developed in my front side. I've had a CT scan for cancer, seen a couple doctors and a chiropractor. The chiropractor said one of my vertebres is out of alignment causing th muscle knot and chronic pain. I've spent over $1,000.- with him and it is not fixed. I'm thinking of going to another chiropractor but I don't have the money to. I feel pain in my front right side and back everyday. I find it hard to exercise, work and sit for long periods of time. The only comfort I get is when I lay down and do nothing. I am only 32 years old and don't want to have pain like this the rest of my life. I feel like I've lost my youth with this injury and don't know how to feel better again. Is surgery a possiblity? or could this be a complete chiropractic problem? will the muscle knot go away? I feel tired and sick from the pain everyday. It's affected my personal and work life.
