I was dx with breast cancer 2 years ago this month. For about 2 weeks now my lower back feels like I have a catch in it. When I stand up it hurts and when I walk I can't hardly straighten up all the way. I have been telling myself that it is just a strained and it will get better. I am going to go to a chiropractor this week. I wouder if it were bone mets would a chiropractor be able to see it on an exray? Any feedback would be great.

    If you have any doubts, I's suggest not going to the chiropractor before you have further testing to see what is causing the pain.  See if your oncologist will do a lumbar MRI.   This will show any disc disease, broken vertebra, or any cancer.   If you have a fractured vertebra, you'll want to do something besides chiropractic treatment.

     Good luck!
