Hi Doc,

Im glad I opened this portion and its about time that I should ask you of my present health condition.
Im Eli Legaspina ( male ) from Philippines and now 57 years old, 5'6 in height and 152 lbs weight. Previously I smoked sometimes heavy especially when I joined for a drinking session but more often as moderate smoker at an average of 3-5 sticks per day or even lower.. I smoked since my childhood days ( I was still 15 yrs old ) moderately and I totally stopped it 10 months ago. Just recently , I experienced a continous backpain where I felt disturbing . I can not get a sound sleep because of this for 2 months already..In my latest Xray results it showed that I have a prominent brochovascular markings with no definite active parenchymal infiltrates. The heart is not enlarged. Degenerative changes are seen in the included spine. The diaphragm and the rest of the visualized thoracic structures are remarkable.
Im asking your help diagnosis for this kind of abnormality that Im experiencing now with the hope that I can be treated the best solution . My utmost thanks to you Doc.. Have a nice day..
