[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 511710, member: 3419"] Flutterby, a good chiro should be able to diagnosis correctly and shouldn't just crack away with-o seeing your xray reports and taking your history. A good chiro should also be able to palpate the area and know if your kidneys are an issue. Not to mention, ask the right questions in your history about fever, urination, etc. I'm all for ice, in the meantime! Yes, the endometriosis could be affecting your back. Big Time. It sounds like you have so much inflammation, you have something else going on there. You're going to think this is weird, but I would cut out red meat, processed meat such as hot dogs and sausage, wheat, and trans fats. Add green tea and vit C. You can do an online search for other inflammatory and anti-inflammatory items. Also, even though the xray didn't really "show" anything, if a chiro takes more xrays, s/he is going to look for different things than a family practice dr or surgeon would look for. For example, if there is a decreased disc space between the vertebra, which could be genetic (which I have) it could cause a lot of pain, and you just have to be really careful forever. And do stretches twice a day. (eg lie on your back and bring your knees to your chest.) A surgeon will look to see if the disk is protruding and if so, how much. (I'm guessing it's not because s/he would have said something and depending upon the severity of the protrusion, recommended PT or surgery.) Have you tried massage? [/QUOTE]
