Wow, I have back pain and they tested me for arthritis ( the test are not back yet) but I am on mobic and cholesterol medicine, Now I am afraid of the kidney problems since both causes kidney problems. I think once the results come back I will have a serious talk with my doc. I also have severe osteoporosis in my hips and lower back. Hope you get to feeling better and that something helps with the pain. I keep thinking I am too young to be in pain for the next 50 years. Yes I plan on living till I am 95. ;-)
