Lower back issues

Hi, 

Ive been having back and Hip pain for 8 months. It would hurt while sitting and standing too. I had a very low tolerance to sit. There was pain down my right leg that showed symptoms of sciatica but an MRI ruled out a possibility of that. But then what was causing the pain. 7 Months later after going through so much pain i got bad heel pain and the doctor said it might all be sign of Vitamin Deficiency. Now im on treatment for it so isuggest you to please do a blood test and check your Vitamin D and calcium levels. i hope this would help you in some way. i;m sorry about the pain you are going through.

Had bit tests. All ok.

Had Chiropractor but no good.

Doc has now referred me to a specialist doctor. Got yo wait yet again! Hoping I will get an MRI at some point.

The low back supports the weight of the upper body and provides mobility for everyday motions such as bending and twisting. Muscles in the low back are responsible for flexing and rotating the hips while walking, as well as supporting the spinal column. Nerves in the low back supply sensation and power the muscles in the pelvis, legs, and feet.

Every day I take painkillers in work. Co Codimol.

Got to see hospital In 2 weeks. I don't hold out much hope. I can only see it getting worse! Biggest worry is being able to support myself financially. Working at the mo. Not sure how long I can keep working!

Back REALLY hurting today! Taken 3 lots of painkillers today and still hurting.

Thinking of changing my mattress too as it's only a cheap. I spend all my spare time on it as me and wife divorced and I am in my room on my own while we sell our house. I don't think the mattress is helping!

Any ideas about what mattress is good for bad backs?

Low back pain is a universal human experience -- almost everyone has it at some point. The lower back, which starts below the ribcage, is called the lumbar region. Pain here can be intense and is one of the top causes of missed work. Fortunately, low back pain often gets better on its own. When it doesn't, there are effective treatments.

Had it for over 40 years now. Getting worse. Hope hospiral can help next week!

Had my 2nd appointment this morning about my back.

Refering me for an MRI but they said that i will need pain management and gentle stretching! Obviously no cure. They think Scan wont show up anything but doing it to investigate a bit more.

Yes, it is my first MRI.

I have tried various things like some physio, chiropractor, stretching, massage and different painkillers.

I will keep this thread updated.

The lumbar spine, or low back, is a remarkably well-engineered structure of interconnecting bones, joints, nerves, ligaments, and muscles all working together to provide support, strength, and flexibility. However, this complex structure also leaves the low back susceptible to injury and pain.

Ask your about Soma pain relief pills for your lower back issue.It really worked well for me.
