Back pain and its complications...advice or ideas

ive had problems with my back for a year now... i went to the chiropractor and i had 14 pinched nerves. those are fixed. but lately ive been getting a worse pain different from pinched nerves..its bad inflammation...from what i don't know...if i just move a certain way it gets inflamed so bad to the point where i cant move...go to the bathroom...get out of bed..or move my pelvis.

i was put on toradol ..anti inflammatory and its the strongest one out there..short term use...5 days max. or it destroys your guts. it works wonders! but now I'm getting abdominal pain.

i am over weight...probably 90lbs...ive already lost 55lbs until this problem. doctors want me to try to lose weight ...but i don't understand how i can do that if i cant move.and to move i have to drug myself up and wreck my stomach. ive had stomach problems in the past. i have been on an anti-acid pill for years. i take the pills with full meals.

so honestly..how on earth am i supposed to lose weight when i don't work and i am very limited on what i can do. everything i do seems to irritate my lower back. they are saying lower mechanical back pain...i am scheduled for an mri and i had an x ray ...came back normal..i had blood work and all it showed was elevated inflammation.

ive already cut back my eating to about 1500 calories a day because I'm not doing much. losing weight....to make back pain get better..i lost 55lbs and my back pain got worse. any ideas! i have a treadmil and i do try to go for slower walks when its not that bad. i also have an appointment to try to get a more long term safer anti inflamatory medication...advil...ibprophen, tylenol...even t 3's dont touch it. im not a fan of asprin...and i am going to be going to college soon and i cant be all drowsy from being all druged up.

pleaseeee help...

After a car accident I tried a lot of things... chiropractor helped.  But doing the adjustments in addition to acupuncture helped even more.  You'd be surprised at how much acupuncture can help if you are willing to do a series of sessions.

Another thing that really helped me was something called the Miracle Ball Method.  I couldn't believe how much it helped!  I really recommend trying it out.  Costco was selling a starter box of the balls and a book for about $10 too.  

The Weight Watchers diet plan is really effective... I have tried so many different diets and I always go back to that one.  Good luck, and hope you are feeling better soon.
