For the last year and a half, I have had shooting pains in my back on a quite consistant basis. I've gotten used to them and can usually ignore them but in the last 3 weeks they have been getting worse and worse. Longer shooting, more painful.

I've had back pains like that too. I went to visit my doctor and he made clinical studies on me to figure it out. I had XRAYS and MRI like crazy. He couldn't really figure out why. But suggested Physical therapy for me did some exercises but they didn't really help in any way. I was also prescribed a stronger medicine compared to tylenol. After moving from a Dad that was verbally abusive my back pains started to go away. Really, I went to another doctor and he found out I had depression and that's where I was getting the pains from.

This could very well be a pinched nerve. I don't understand how you could go like this for years and "get used to it"
This doesn't sound conceivable to me. But, different strokes?
I would go see my doctor and tell him. He'll probably order MRI's or CAT scans to see what the problem is. After this length of time if it is nerve damage, with the time element involved, you may have permanent damage. You should have gone in much sooner.

I would not wait any more than you have already got It is time to permit anybody recognize whether or not it's Mom or Dad or a institution nurse however it seems like you may also must see a chiropractitioner. Once you spot her or him all might be good He'll straighten you out along with his lightly contact and that is a promise.

It could be a pinched nerve. My daughter has similar pain. She goes to a chiropractor to get manipulations each week. Start with seeing one for x-rays. MRIs won't pick-up on pinched nerves.

what portion of your back?
i sometimes get shooting pains in my upper right back when i sit in an akward position (laying in bed reading something, mostly) for a long period of time, is there anything that triggers them?
