Ok, I am not that medical so bare with me on my crappy terminology.
In highschool, I suffered an injury to my lower back.
Never really bothered me that much.
At times I could be standing around doing nothing, and I will feel a sharp pain in my back, like a knife, takes my breath away, and drops me to the ground.
I also cant sit for long periods of time, or stand (like at a concert), my back starts hurting.
It has gotten worse lately, like when when I run, it hurts, or if I have a heavy bookbag, it feels like my back is crushing down.
Went to the doctor, between two vertebrae in my lower back, on the mri, it was black. He basically said that there is no fluid and the cartilage has deteriorated (spelled right?). So basically there is nothing there.
he said they can fix it with fusing them together, but would probrally cause more pain than anything.
any ideas on what to do?
