Does anyone experience lower backpain? *UPDATE on Post #1*

have you had a urine test done? sounds like you might have a kidney infection...when i have had them my lower back hurt real bad.

 

Very similar to yours, as a child I was running through the surf and fell and hit something with my back. Been "dealing" with it ever since. Was told, "yer to young for back pain". I think I have disk problems but have never gone and had it looked at. I am curious what your sawbones tells ya. Let us know.

 

I do stretches on a ballet bar twice a week, along with other exercises. I find the "cat" stretch is the most helpful for my lower back. Also I work out my abs, I find if I keep my abs strong it helps my lower back.

 

Or kidney stones....I had sharp pains with mine, but my dad had a persistent dull ache with his. I've been having a similar problem for the past two months. Have I gone to the doctor yet? Noooooo....sometimes it feels in the pelvis, sometimes the bottom of my kidneys

 

If its traveling down your leg its most like ciatic nerve pain. My husband has nerve damage to his left side and has constant muscle spasms. It can come and go but he says the pain is best described as a constant electrical shock type pain.

 

Okay find a doctor who will order you an MRI immediately.
If your doctor won't then see a neurologist or neurosurgeon who you really should see anyway.
I had the same thing you describe, fell and they told me a hurt my tailbone.
Then I had excrutiating pain down my leg so that I couldn't even walk.
Still was told its because women get that sometimes.
I eventually was crawling to get to the bathroom or whereever because the pain was so bad that I couldn't stand upright and I couldn't use my leg, also never got any sleep.
I saw a neurologist who had me hospitalized aright away.
WHen I was in his office he noticed that I had what they call dropped foot, I had absolutely no control over my foot, it just hung there and I couldn't feel him sticking needles in the bottom of it.
At the hospital(the same one where the ER had given me the brush off too saying its probably a spasm) they ordered an MRI and a surgeon operated Immediately, he said it was the largest disc herniation he had ever seen in his career and couldn't imagine how I was getting around.
Because the doctors gave me the brushoff for so long I have permanent nerve damage in my leg and my foot is numb.
If you are taking muscle relaxers and they don't work its probably not muscle and probably bone, disc etc.
Please don't let this go and don't let them give you the run around,find someone who will listen to your concerns and take you seriously.
Get an MRI, it will show any disc problems.
Best of luck and PLEASE keep us posted on how you are.

 

Ummm you really need to see a chiropractor...I would be an absolute mess right now If I didn't believe they could help:>) When I start getting achy now I just go for an adjustment now and feel so much better.
I also used to get alot of what you are now experiencing...and the epidural spot used to KILL me in the mornings...i couldn't even breathe and it really felt like my back was broken. I believe it was from a spinal fluid blockage perhaps from scar tissue from the epidurals. Anyway...you really should make a believer out of yourself and go see a chiropractor
