I've been having 2x per week chiropractic adjustments and 1x per week trigger point massage since April (7 months!). About 2 months ago I went to my primary care doctor with intense fatigue & trigger point pain along my spine and flanks. He ruled out a rhuematological cause based on blood work and gave me prescription strength NSAIDs which left me sleepy but didn't really improve my condition. I have trace white blood cells and "inflammation" in my urine. My flanks hurt, my lower back hurts and my entire upper back and the area along the left side of my spine hurts. I don't "hold" the chiropractic adjustments and I'm thinking my problem is more serious and not related to my spine at all. If I had some type of cancer and it spread to my spine and bones, wouldn't it show up on spinal xrays? It really sucks to be in daily pain for 8 months with no respite. I'm also terribly anemic, but the doc thinks this is due to the fact that I carry the trait for Thalassemia. I used to be a runner.
