Some of these conditions are serious- and they can involve almost any of your internal organs. Early intervention can often mean the difference between relief and a catastrophe.

If you have new-onset pain which lasts more than a few days, see your doctor right away- particularly if your pain does not have a clear cause (like you’ve been gardening or moving furniture all week!)

Many people develop back pain, and believe they will ‘work through it’ or that it will simply go away. Don’t fall into this trap, and you will save yourself lots of aggravation.

Thank you for stopping by!

Best,

Andy
