Hi Mary, I'm sorry you're not feeling any better. I've been in a similar situation, I had some twisted vertebrae at the base of my spine pinching my sciatic nerve. All of the pain was in my back and middle, luckily no leg pain, but I couldn't walk, stand, sit, lie down, I was miserable. I went to see a chiropractor and within hours I was feeling unbelievably better. Went back the next day, then two days after that and within a week I was almost back to normal. I was scared about seeing a chiropractor since what you see in the movies can be scary, spine cracking and popping, but it was just some gentle re-alignments that did a world of good. They also gave me some simple stretches and exercises to do at home which really helped. I hate to see you writing about taking vicodin and going to the ER, in recent years I've been increasingly fed up with traditional western medicine (treat the symptoms, not the cause), and have started looking more into homeopathic, osteopathic and wholistic remedies. This isn't to say that vicodin and ER's aren't valuable (vicodin was my friend after tearing my ACL and having two surgeries), but its not always the best route. Just my 2 cents. I hope you're feeling better soon, like I said, I've been there and I know how miserable it is. Best wishes for healing soon
