Back pain
I have this weird pain in my lower back.
As you can see from the attachment, the position is a few (8"-ish) above the top of my bum, and on the far-left of my body, just under the skin of my back.
Normally it doesn't hurt, and I can bend/stretch/turn in 98% of directions fine. Although if I bend to the right (i.e. stretching my left) it is a bit uncomfortable, but entirely bareable. Its also not painful to touch. However if I sneeze or cough (sneezing is worse and seems to happen a lot with me), it is absolutely agonising. The pain lasts for a few seconds or a bit longer depending on how big the sneeze was
The pain started yesterday and I was just sitting down at my desk as per normal. It seemed to be a bit better this morning, but after just sneezing a couple of times its now back and agonising. A few mins after sneezing it was fine-ish again.
Anyone know what's going on or anything I can do to lessen the pain?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Back pain
Wotcha punky,
Rammy's probably the best person to ask, but this is almost exactly what happened to me before my doctor diagnosed me with sciatica. I seem to think that Rammy thought it may be something else, but that's my experience anyway

Re: Back pain
Indeedy, hopefully Mr Rammy will be here sooner rather than later. :cries:
I don't like to speculate, but what happened with your diagnosis/treatment?

The doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatories (potassium declofenac) and painkillers. I can't remember how long the course of treatment was (about a week or so, I think) but, fingers crossed, it's almost entirely cleared up now. I still get the occasional 'twinge' of pain, but that's normally after I've twisted sharply or something like that.

Re: Back pain
Sounds like muscle trouble mate, round that area of the back you have muscles that keep you upright, over the last couple of years I've had pain all round that area, when I visited the doctors all he prescribed me was Tramadol.

Re: Back pain
Drink at least 4 pints of water a day for the next 7 days and all will be well.

If you're in front of me and I sneeze to trigger my pain, I WILL knock you out the way and go in front, blind man or not

I'd be worried. Personally, I'd rather have ten nutters in front of me than one behind me.

Agreed, i also have pain in the exact same area, its usually torn/twisted muscle/out of place, maybe you need to strengthen your back with exercies.

Not if I trip you up with my stick you won't
But, no, you can go first if you like - I want to see you in pain as Rammy works on you
