Yes, brd. haha I'm 23, but 14 is close! I have been to 3 different orthopedists. At first they that it was just a few herniated discs, but then physical therapy and stuff didn't really do anything. The last two think it is degenerative but are also baffled because i am young and not overweight, which is where it is most common. Unfortunately I cannot get an MRI yet. My last insurance would not cover it because they listed it as "pre existing" since I had been seen by previous doctors, and now I have no insurance. Buzz currently has GREAT coverage, so when we get married there should be no probs getting it. It's been 6 years since it all started so I have figured out ways to handle 75% of the pain, but there are days that just nothing will help.
