Visiting with the Dr

OK, so my back has been hurting me for years...but was told, many years ago, to lose weight. Well, I have done that (to the tune of 60 pounds!) and the pain is still the same and isn't getting any better. Went to the primary care physician and he is sending me to an orthopedic surgeon. I see this guy on Friday. X-rays have been taken of my back and they see nothing wrong with my back bone wise, so this is something a little more in there. It has to be. At times I feel something bulging. And its constantly. Sometimes the pain is bearable, and other times, I am near tears. Will let you know the outcome and whether or not he gives me something.
