Sounds like a disc problem? Hope it goes well - rest obviously but get help from a proper physiotherapist asap! Don't be tempted to get involved with quacks and don't get too dependent on the tablets! Easier said than done, perhaps, but in the long term, hopefully, you can get over the worst by adopting 'proper' posture and walking habits. I'm not (yet
) a back sufferer but I've had serious neck problems which have all been "cured" (?
) by minor physiotherapy, exercise and a
lot of attention to posture ....
Good luck

Morning eventually dawned and I had lost the use of my right leg altogether and was in excruciating pain. Sue the wife took the day off and with a great effort managed to get me in the car and to the doctors who diagnosed a trapped nerve in my back. I am now slightly more comfortable but still in pain and drugged up on a cocktail of pain killers and anti inflammatory tablets. Got the laptop on my knee as I write this.
