I’ve been suffering from back pain for a couple of years and it has become extremely intense in the past year. My husband lost his job so we lost our insurance, so I’ve been going to a clinic for the past year. Luckily, he found another job that he’s been working at for about 2 months now and our insurance is about to kick in. I was wondering if someone knows of a good doctor in Colorado. I’d really like to find someone who is caring and compassionate.

It started during my second pregnancy and went away a couple months after the birth of my son. Then it returned when I was pregnant with my 3rd child and got rapidly worst. After my daughter was born it just continued to get a lot worst. I had an MRI and was told I had Degenerative Disc Disease. I’ve been able to get a little physical therapy, unfortunately not a lot due to the lack of insurance. The pain has now spread to my hip. I don’t know if the pain in my hip is connected to the back pain or if it’s something completely different. But I’ve started having a hard time walking and try really hard not to leave the house because I’m so scared of having a pain attack out in public. I’m only 28 years old and have developed horrible depression from being in so much pain. I have kind of gotten used to the constant pain and have been able to manage it with pain meds, unfortunately the pain attacks are so intense I haven’t been able to get relief. I took percocet for the pain and then the doctor added extra oxycodone in addition because after 8 months I became tolerant, plus the pain increased. She recently suggested prescribing oxycontin but I’d prefer not to go that route. I’m hoping with insurance and physical therapy I can start getting relief and wean off the narcotics. I also take muscle relaxers and naproxen, plus anti-depressants. She also put me on Lyrica. I’m having some bad side affects but I’ve only been on it for a few days so I’m hoping they get more mild, I haven’t noticed a difference in the pain yet. I’ve also tried marijuana but didn’t really feel it helped me too much, maybe to be able to sleep at night. I’ve tried ice packs, hot baths, icy hot, tiger balm, ibuprofen, herbal teas, juicing, deep breathing, meditation. Flexeril completely knocks me out so I had to stop taking it.

We have been trying to get pregnant for years. We have tried everything. We have tried several different types of fertility meds and recently did In-Vitro fertilization. Nothing seems to work. We have done acupuncture as well. We conceived naturally twice years ago and miscarried, but we were not planning to have a family that young, so we thought we has time. I had my tarot cards read and the woman who read them asked me why I am worried about my fertility. I never told her anything about myself or my concerns.She then told me that their was a soul that was waiting to come into my family. She said that the soul was waiting for the right timing and with the magician card crossing a child card that it shows that nothing is impossible. She told me a spell to do that will help us. She said the soul was waiting on the next full moon. My husband thinks this is nuts and although I feel a little weird doing it, I am willing to try anything. I have prayed and prayed to god, I believe what this woman said because even as I left her office, I still had never told her my reasons for coming in there. I left with a spell that I never asked her for. Is doing this going to far? My husband thinks so. He is waiting for a response from people here with me. What do you think? Would you try it?
