Hello. I have severe back, i had mri and i have two different disk protrusion but my doctor says that it is not the source of pain wtf! how the fuck it is not the cause of my pain. My feet hurts when my back hurts. doctor says its in my head, is it even possible that its only in my head? She said that the sensation of pain is on my brain and because i have had this pain before stronger i’m more sensitive for pain. I dont believe it. wtf is this. i need to get those pictures and get a nother doctor?? I am not crazy

    I was in a similar situation with my back a few years ago. It could be absolutely excruciating. While I also had a protruding disc, it turned out a lot of my problem was hanging on to the mental trauma from the death of a family member in the form of muscle tension. What ended up helping me get better was the combination of therapy (mental not physical) and regular massage appointments. There is also a great book by Peter Levine called “Waking the Tiger” that helped me to understand how my body can carry emotional trauma physically.
    Not sure if this relates to you at all but hopefully it helps.

        Mate, if it interferes with your well-being so much, you definitely need to get a second opinion. It could be what the other poster mentioned, but you can’t know until someone else takes a look.

        Further more, the doctor should have given you some better advice on how to handle it.
