I was in a car wreck 2 months ago.I went to an orthopaedic dr. which said my Back Pain is coming from DDD. Now, I run rescue,very active in my community.Never had a problem with my back before.I looked up everything on DDD.That is something that older people get from ealier injury in life,or something that has happened to over a peirod of time.So,how can this be what is wrong with me? i wasn't having lower Back pain before my wreck. So, how can he say that's what is wrong.No, there hasn't been a MRI done.He said he wanted me to go though therophy first,and if that Doesn't work then we will have that done.It's severe lower Back pain at times.I can't sit to long,stand,walk or anything to long. I had to take medical leave from my resuce squad,and that is killing me.I just don't see how this can be what is wrong with me,if I was fine before!Please help! Do I need a different Dr.?
yes
