Not that I don't appreciate any advice I've ever been given on here, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other message boards for back related problems where people with actual medical backgrounds answer questions posted by people. They don't even need to be specifically doctors, just anyone who's qualified. I know there are some sites out there you need to pay for that do similar things, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows any good free ones?

Reason being I'm looking to get a second opinion about my back situation, and I simply can't afford to just go to a new doctor.

These are not professional advice forums. The message boards are for patient-to-patient peer support.

Do not ask members to post against the rules, which they would have to do telling you of other sites or message boards.

However, we are partnered with WebMD...try that site for medical advice.
