Did your doctor have a name for the "musculoskeletal disorder" that he said you have? It sounds like your doctor didn't give you any advice on possible treatment?

Thank you for writing to me. You are right - he given me a few different diagnosis one day and then changed his mind. Last was “ swayback syndrome “. I am in severe pain every day. All I know that I have to re- train my posture. It’s hard to do because I have 4 fractured discs in my vertebrae. That’s why my muscles are too tight and “ not communicating “ with my bones. He sent me to therapy and therapy didn’t help a bit. A couple exercises and some pictures to take home.So, I found a new therapist on my own and working with him. Different approach. He basically works manually straightening my spine. He been very careful about fractures. I am still in a lot of pain. But hoping something will change at the end. I also have a severe osteoporosis which developed very fast and no doctor can answer why. I don’t have a good endocrinologist- just a general practitioner who specializes in osteoporosis. All this developed in a seven month. I went from happy, active, life loving person to absolutely sad and barely surviving my pain on Tramadol. Which I hate to take but there is nothing else helping with this torturing all day and often night pain.
