Actually, reading backwards, HokuLoa is right, you should get an MRI. Not an x-ray which the doctor knows often shows nothing. Resveratrol might make the pain go away, but if you have something serious, it will also make the symptoms improve, preventing your problem from becoming the priority in your doctor's eyes that it should be.

MRIs only cost $99 in Japan. I don't know why they are so expensive in the US, probably to discourage people from getting accurate diagnoses/maximize the income stream.
