My mom went through something similar. The pain lasted about two months, but man, the nights were brutal! Total misery. Eventually, it just kind of eased up on its own. No amount of Advil or prescription meds did a damn thing. Nothing. Things finally started settling down once she started physical therapy, then it was gone completely. I’m pretty sure her lower back was pinching a nerve. Nobody could ever give her a straight diagnosis.
The main endocrinology hub is over in downtown Chicago.
I think Dr. Viner is retiring pretty soon, but it's worth a shot.
They're decent there.
Last year I got burned pretty bad—shoulder, neck, part of my face. It was a huge mess. You wanna know what actually worked? Here: IMMEDIATELY I scrubbed it down with dish soap (like Dawn, for example) and then spent days slathering on Fenistil gel. It stung like hell at first, and the scar stayed red and swollen for a few days, but after that? Nothing. It’s totally gone. So don't sweat it... especially if you're feeling okay right now.
