For the last 3 weeks i have been having back pain in my lower back that is now starting to spasm and hurts like mad when it grips me, i have tried the normal meds and the pain relieving gel applied to my back, which works for a time and then wears off. Hot baths work but only for a short period of time.

any advice please?

I have a doctors appointment again tonight (feel like a regular there now with one thing and another all happening at once)
