Well my doctor never even suggested the bcp continously, but I have read
other on here doing that. I don't think I would feel comfortable doing
that, and I don't think a treatment will help if you don't feel
comfortable with it because healing is a mind/body thing. Plus I tried
the depo provera shot and that is suppose to not give me a period and
that made me soooo sick! I will for sure give this pill a month and see
how it goes.
Heating pads, and pain pills hve never helped me one bit! Never helped
the pain, or anything. I feel like I have tried it all!! So yeah kinda
at a lost. But I'll give it time and see if the bcp helps any, but if
it continue to make my back pain so bad, no way I'll wait forever to see
if it helps!
