I think TT is right about a physio. A lot of back problems come from a different source e.g. tight muscles in the legs.

Which is why walking is good.... |

Go to a Physiotherapist. It sounds very much muscle/nerve related, so a good ol' massage might be what you need. There is a case it could be to do with your posture also, so again, sort yourself out with a Physiotherapist. Doctors will only prescribe summin to 'ease' the pain, they don't get rid of it.

it could be caused by a variety of reasons.i'd ignore every bit of advice in this thread and see what the doc says.
what works for one person could be the completely wrong thing to do for another.

In the first instance, absolutely. He will probably refer you to a physio anyway. That is what Jon does for a living. Most of his referrals are either for back pain for chronically obese people (all he can do is to tell them to lose weight) - not that I think you are overweight Sam - or people who have been fucked up by a chiropractor. Oh and sports injuries as well. |

I've suffered from back pain for years, I was first told it was sciatica and after quite a few years I was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc.
I'm lucky so far in that the periods of pain I get are very infrequent (Usually 4-5 a year) lasting between a couple of days and a couple of weeks. Sometimes it's brought on by over excersion, although sometimes it's just because I slept in a funny position.
The pain is a real bastard, I've been in tears before and unable to put my own pants and socks on ('While you're down there love......') But the intense pain usually passes quite quickly after I've been up and around for a while.
When it's really bad I hit the Co-Codomol, it doesn't stop the pain, but makes it bearable.

Been diagnosed with spongilathosis. As Ive got older my spine has moved forward causing back pain in the lower back and pain down the leg (sciata as a by product of the back problem really). Apparently Andre Agassi had the same during the later stages of his career and he managed to get though it and win grand slams! God only know how its a horrible pain but like Hertha the only way for me to get through it is through time and movement, so once Ive got up and forced myself to move around and maybe had a few dicofenac im ok. It pretty much a daily pain but it cant be fixed. They just seem to think Ill get used to it. Hooray.

I sometimes get a pain in my back, and then i seem to have a tingly feeling in my legs and I can fall over if i dont grab onto anything. I dont think this is good. It has only happened a couple of times, but i occasionally get back pain a few times a year
Is this a sign of sciatica?

Sound more like pins and needles. You can die from that.

see if the doc will give you either diclofenac or tramadol as a short term treatment! too much cocodamol will bung you up! exercise and stretching will help!

Ive got tramadol and diclofenac at the moment to stop the pain of recovering from a hernia op. Bit spaced out as it goes. |
