Could my back problems be neurological in nature? 25 years ago I was diagnosed through my work comp injury I had 2 herniated disks. I lived at the chiropractor for the first 2 years and throughout the last 20 always have had to get regular adjustments 2-3 times a month usually for pinched nerves in the L4,5. A couple years ago, I had a pain episode so back I couldn't breathe. Shooting pains everywhere throughout my back. The pain clinic Dr gave me nerve facet shots, epidurals and finally some strong IV medication which at last brought me relief. I was in her office for over 6 hours and she had no explanation whatsoever for what was wrong with me. Now in the last year, i get cramps or spasms in my back many times when I lay down. It's almost impossible to sleep no matter what I do. I have moved to Ecuador, and the last chiropractor I went to actually sat down with me to discuss my problems. He told me an xray does not determine a herniated disk which is the only thing I had done at that time. Subsequent MRI's, scans, xrays show nothing only a slighter higher pelvis on one side. He told me to talk to a neurologist as that was the problem.
