Lower back pain treatment

I know a lot of people suffer from lower back pain, myself included! It can be debilitating at times.   I usually take some ibuprofen and use one of those heat patches you buy online or from your local pharmacy. Most of the time that works for me.

Lower back pain has been so bad that I had to go to the doctor or emergency room. This does not happen often, but if the above treatment does not help, I have to get some kind of  relief.  Usually I get a shot for pain and a prescription for muscle relaxers and pain pills. I am not fond of this type of medication at all. But, when I am having THAT type of pain, it is sometimes necessary.

Lower back pain can affect your whole body.  You do not feel good, you don't want to move, and often just lay around.  I am no medical expert, but I am sure laying around is not the best treatment for lower back pain.  You have to find that balance between laying down and getting up and moving around.  This can prove to be difficult when your whole body hurts from lower back pain.  I have also found that soaking in a tub of hot water helps tremendously.

I would rather do some exercise or soak in a tub than take any prescription or over the counter drugs.   I know my mother had to have surgery on her back and she was nor t pleased with the long term results at all.  She has had better luck getting injections in her back, but had her best results when getting physical therapy.

When you go to a physical therapist, they will do all pertinent tests, like xrays, MRIs, CAT scans, etc, to tailor a treatment plan that will help you recover from your pain. Often, they can ge tall of this information.from the doctor that has been treating you. They will teach you what you can do to do to help your particular situation.

Do you have lower back pain?  What treatment options have you sought and what has worked for you?

What you need to know about loans



Getting a loan is not always easy.  Mortgage loans, personal loans, and other loans can vary from lender to lender.  You need to make sure you shop around,no matter what type loan you may need.

Usually, you can get a personal loan from your bank.  The amount will vary based on your income and credit worthiness.  Go to your bank and talk the loan officer and they should be able to tell you everything you need to know to apply.   Most banks have an online application, so you can check it out before actually hitting that submit button.  Be advised, any time you ask for a loan, your credit history is run.  Any financial institution wants to know how you are paying your debts. 

There are many types of mortgage loans.  Depending on your financial situation, you may need a hard money loanhard money loan is a specific type of asset-based loan financing through which a borrower receives funds secured by real property. Hard money loans are typically issued by private investors or companies.   Self employment loans usually require a lot more paper work to verify your income and assets.  Most people can submit their last year's income tax returns to verify income.  If you are self employed and seeking a loan, the lender may want a few years worth of income tax returns, a profit and loss statement, a list of your assets and all of your debts.Your lender wants to make sure you are able to pay back the loan.

With any type of loan, your lender will want collateral.  With a car loan,it is the car itself, with a mortgage it is your home and property.  If you default on your loan, the lender can take possession of the collateral, thus removing you car, home or property from your possession.  If you are having problems paying your loan, contact your lender immediately.  They will want to help.  The last thing they want is to take possession of that collateral.  They want those monthly payments, not your collateral. That is how they make money.

Depending on your credit score, your interest rate might be higher or lower  than normal.  For instance, if you have a fantastic credit score  you can get a car loan at zero percent.  Usually with these zero percent loans, you have to make the payment on time each month or your go to a default interest rate.  

Before you sign your name to any loan, make sure you understand all the terms of the loan.

How to find the best lawyer


Usually if you need a lawyer, you need one quick.  So, where do you look for a lawyer?

You can ask friends and family for suggestions.  I have found this is the most reliable method to obtaining the right lawyer for you.  But, if it is a private matter you wish to NOT discuss with family and friends, there are other ways to find a lawyer.

Google

I would use Google to find a lawyer.  I would search for they type of lawyer I needed, (family law, DUI, Personal Injury,etc.) and a location.  Now, I know locally might not bring a lot of sear results, so you can use the next largest city to where you live and go from there.  Be sure and check out the Google reviews people have left, so you can make an informed decision. You can search Lawyers of Distinction, too. You can find out a lot about an attorney.

Facebook

 We are now in the digital age, so a lot of law firms and private attorneys have Facebook pages.  Again, make sure to find the right lawyer for your needs.  Type in the search bar the keywords lawyer and family law, if that is what you need.  You may need a DUI lawyer, so make sure to refine your search accordingly. Lawyers of Distinction is always a god place to look and find out more information about a lawyer.

Library

Go to the library and research.  Again, you will have to look through journals or magazines related tot he legal world, and look for the type of lawyer you  need.  There will be a plethora of information.

When you find the lawyer you need, call and set up an appointment.  Some attorneys take walk in clients, but I would most definitely call ahead to make sure I could s be seen before taking that route.
Some lawyers will give you a free consultation.  That is a great things, too.  You may find out that this lawyer will not be able to handle your case or maybe you just don't mesh with him/her well.  You can always check out another lawyer.

Some lawyers charge a consultation fee.  Usually, it is a small fee.  Make sure you ask when you make the appointment.   Usually a lawyer will let the consultation fee be taken off the retainer fee, if you choose to retain.  Make sure to discuss all options before you retain an attorney.  You want the best lawyer for the case you have, right? Make sure to do your research!
