Severe back pain that comes and goes?!


Question: Severe back pain that comes and goes.?
Okay so I have had back pain in the same spot for about 3 years now, I haven't seen a doctor yet because the pain will come and go. It will come and stay for about 2-3 weeks maybe a month sometimes, and then go away for about 2-3 months, then return in the same spot, each time it seems to be getting more severe and more painful, I get short punches of pain that will knock the wind out of me for about 1-2 seconds, I am supposed to be seeing a doctor soon, I was just wondering if this is anything serious or if I should worry.

The pain is in my left mid-back.

Please answer seriously and thank you very much.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It could be DDD, Degenerative Disk Disease. I had the same type of problem. I eventually had spinal fusion. I had a disk that had deteriorated to the point that it was bone on bone. And no, pain meds did NO good. The only way to determine a bad disk is an MRI. Once a disk has been identified, a diskogram may be performed to see if there is a tear.

Good luck. Personally, I am a new man with only minimal pain. It's arthritis. I'll always be able to "feel" it. However, I only wish I hadn't waited so long.Health Question & Answer
