@invisiblepain2 We have similar issues going on, as I have felt bloated for the past 6 months, and I can't eat full meals any longer. I used to eat 5 or 6 times a day, pretty much every three hours. Now I have to stop halfway through. Bending and twisting get my right side to lock up, as well. And sitting is the strangest part. There are certain chairs / seats that I can sit in for an hour, then others that I can't sit in for more than 5 minutes. Even in a car, I can sit in my car okay, but I can't sit in the passenger seat of my wife's car.

I just can't believe there is no one that has any idea what is happening. I've seen more than 30 medical professionals at 5 different hospitals, and every one of them gives up, most of them after the very first visit or procedure. In the past month, I've had two people that I have not even seen tell me they can't help. I send my images and reports to them, and they say "Nope" and I'm on my own again.

I've been to two different Instagram "experts", where the testimonials talk them up, saying how they were back to 100% after a single visit. One testimonial was from a famous actor, where he said he threw his back out on set, and one session later, he was back on set. Well, I went for 6 visits (physical therapy and movement work), and after the last visit, he was shrugging his shoulders. He referred me to another therapist, but he does not take insurance, and I've already spent a lot of money out of my own pocket in the past 6 months alone.
