Sorry to hear about your friend.

Boating after dark is risky business.

When I was involved in the boating accident I was 16 years old. Basically the driver of the boat was going too fast and we hit someone's wave and it made me fly back and hit my back. I had huge bruises on my back from the accident. I didn't go to the hospital.

Every since then I have had problems with my lower back, I cannot stand for more than ten minutes at a time without my back hurting. I have had x-rays done, and a MRI. I also had 2 months of physical therapy for my back. The results of my MRI and X-ray all were normal. I put on 100 pounds with my son due to thyroid problems. My doctor says my back hurts because I'm overweight. I was normal size up until 18 months ago. My back hurt then and it still does now. Is their any other tests that they can do? Or should I ask for exploratory surgery?

You should look into having an upright MRI. Check out this site.

Better to be honest than hide things. Maybe people can learn from others mistakes
