Thanks for the reply!
I have understand that there are many causes of back pain and that its difficult to find the cause of the problem, why can't things be more simple?!
The cause of my pain to me is a mystery. I haven't been in any accidents or injured myself to my knowledge. The pain is mainly in my lower back, however it sometimes spreads down my legs. My arms are legs sometime feel quite heavy to move. I also get pain quite high up in my back. I also have pain in my joints in my hands, which I'm not sure if it is related to the back pain or not.
I have only seen my GP and a physio who is based at the health centre which I attend. I have another physio appointment in the new year, but I'm not sure what my next step is with the NHS. I assume treatment for back pain is basically trial and error until something works? I thought that I would have been sent for some sort of scan/test as surely that would help try and find a sucessful treatment?
