If the back pain is, serious it will often show up in MRI or CT scans. X-rays will show back conditions, however since doctors review all areas, except the alignment of the bones and spine, thus most times the x-rays only reveal what the doctor wants to see. This happens to many people, including myself. A pro in analyzing the spine and bones is the man you want to see if you have chronic back conditions.

The types of back pain include sciatica. The back problem may be listed as slip disk in some instances, yet the pain often challenges doctors diagnose since a sharp, electrical shock-like and distressing ache starts at the back and then travels to the legs. Sometimes the pain is intermittent, while other times the pain may be chronic. The particular problem often requires surgery to correct. Sciatica according to few experts is one of the worst backaches endured, since even when the pain has mild pain it is difficult to bend forward and over to tie a shoe. The problem rests in the spine, joints, and connective elements of the spinal column that links to the entire body.

The spinal column makes up muscles, bones, central nerves, etc. What holds the spine together is disks, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, etc? When a person stands erect, the spine’s elements will join to apply tension. You can visualize the tension by considering how a string will respond when you pull it down. The changes assist the body in mobility; as well, it determines how the body responds to movement.

The lower back is made up of large-scale structures, including the backbone and the hip joints. The hip joints connect to the pelvis and each element joins with the spinal column at the triangle bone in the lower back and at the baseline of the spine that joins the hipbones on either side and forms part of the pelvis. (Sacrum)

The large bones attach to the legs, which provide us strength and support to the vertical spinal column. We have thick bones that start at the opposite side of the thick cord of nerve tissues (Spinal Cord) that is near the neck. Along this area, the joints are thick and the bones start to thin and shrink.  The spinal cord is a “thick whitish” nerve cord surrounded by tissues and extends from the base of the brain and continues to the spinal column, giving mount to a pair of spinal nerves that contribute the body.

Combined these elements give us the ability to move and provides flexibility. In addition, the organs are directed by these elements.

The spine is held up by the larger group of bones at the lower region, smaller base, and the top architectures. Stress occurs at the area, since below this region larger muscles work by directing and sparking movement. This is how the legs are able to move, which brute stress is applied to the vertebrae. At the back, we also have a lumbar spinal disk. The disk is affected by the brute stress, since each time we bend and sit, we are applying more than 500 pounds to this area, yet it stretches to a “square inch” around the disks and per count along the area.

Unfortunately up to 85% of all migraineurs are magnesium deficient. The levels of magnesium in the blood do not correlate to that in the fluid of the brain, so if you ask your doctor to check your levels, don’t be surprised if he or she tries to put you off a bit.

How did you become magnesium deficient? While we don’t know why migraineurs are more deficient in magnesium compared to the rest of the population, there are some things that can cause this. The most common cause is inadequate intake through diet. For most people this is easily solved by eating a healthy diet and taking a multivitamin. Unfortunately, other conditions can lead to low magnesium including diabetes and alcoholism, both of which cause more magnesium to leave the body through the kidneys. The following medications can also result in more magnesium leaving the body through the kidneys: diuretics, aminoglycosides, cisplatin, digoxin, cyclosporin, and amphotericin B.

Many people are confused as to which type of magnesium to take for their migraines. Some forms are not well tolerated and can cause stomach problems. At the present time, the best tolerated type is magnesium citrate. This form of magnesium seems to lessen the well known side effect of diarrhea which occurs about 10% of the time.

Most experts agree that the minimum daily intake of magnesium for migraineurs should be 400mg. Many of the studies done in the late ’80’s were at this dose and did show a significant reduction in headaches. The research from more recent years has indicated that up to 800mg per day may reduce migraine frequency and pain. Of particular interest is the fact that magnesium seems to be effective in menstrual migraine and for barometric pressure headache One study showed that menstrual migraineurs dip their levels of magnesium even further during the menstrual week. No wonder that headache is so bad.

Again, if you choose to use magnesium to help your headaches, remember to give it a least 90 days to have the full benefit. It takes the brain that long to make changes. Dietary intake will also help and this is found in green vegetables, beans and whole grains. Prolonged use of supplements of magnesium should be balanced with calcium intake as over time magnesium has the potential to pull calcium from the bones.

In the beginning, the concern with a diabetic diet is to make sure you are getting enough food so your blood sugar does not drop too low.  You will also want to monitor your levels to look for any spikes in your readings too.  A dietician can work with you on this. If you are eating the recommended diet plan and it is not working, you are feeling hungry afterwards or your blood sugar is too high – call your dietician.  He or she can work with you over the phone to make immediate changes and schedule an appointment to rework your plan.

Your dietician can also make recommendations on substitutions for your favorite foods that you were afraid you could never eat again.  They will educate you on portion sizes too. There really isn’t too much that you can’t have as a diabetic as long as you are planning your meals out, getting exercise and eating in moderation.

Food guides change and your dietician or nutritionist will have the most up to date version.  Try and follow it and combine foods as you have been taught by your support team.  If you are unsure if something is allowable on your diabetic diet, call your dietician for advice and if you can’t reach them leave a message and hold off until you hear back from them.
