Lower back pain and weird feelings...

For about 2 years I been getting issues with my back, neck, legs and arms.

My back hurts again, it's been on and off since the last time i saw a doctor in November.

The pain and discomfort is around the lower back in and around the spine and hip area.

I also get back pain when I lie down in bed, I elevate my head because of acid reflux.

My back feels sensitive to the matress, which is a bit hard in the middle, possibly a spring....

even if I put a pillow on it or sit on a sofa or chair.

Its a feeling that's hard to explain, sort of numb and uncomfortable.

I try back exercises I seen on YouTube and yoga, they help temporarily.

Carrying something heavy and throwing it hurts my back.

When I move my leg towards my head, I feel my lower back click.

Sitting on the sofa brings in some pain to my lower back, even with a footrest.

When doing something like hoovering, my back feels numb, like tight. I get a weird tingling feeling down my leg and feet, like my brain is focusing on it. (Hard to explain, even to the doc.)

Also causes tension headaches and sort of pressure in my head behind the nose.

I had a check up before, he did a physical examination of my leg and arm and said they are absolutely fine.

Said my back is fine, just the muscles are tight, and recommended I drink lots of water and swiggle my shoulders if I start feeling stiff in the back.

He also thought anxiety and stress maybe contributing to it.

I am managing my anxiety. I still get problems when I'm mentally ok.

He thought that work like painting maybe making my arms and shoulders feel tired.

I haven't done any of that lately.

I tried tying a knot today, it was causing tension in my back and head....couldn't do it.

He said that a young man like me shouldn't need to worry much about it...

But it is starting to annoy me.

Would it be best to see a physiotherapist?
