Does anyone have chronic issues with their back or neck since being diagnosed? I go to the chiropractor once a month, sometimes twice and my back is worse than ever! It will start in my lower back and gradually move up until it reaches my neck and then I get the worst migraines due to my neck issues. Also, a recent car accident has made my right hip hurt like crazy and my lower back is worse than ever now.

I also do Epson salt baths! Honestly I'll try anything at this point! I just decided to try a new pain management doctor that deals specifically with chronic pain...not just back issues...for some reason they always focus on injecting my back and it makes me nuts! I'm definitely not heard!

@A MyLupusTeam Member..I have magnesium sensitivity (makes my heart race) so I can't do this anymore, but my go to for my back and migraines was always Epsom salts baths!! They worked miracles before I started having side effects from the magnesium..other than that, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of it and will keep everyone posted if I find things that work. Good luck and I hope you feel better
