Lower back pain

by Lilpinkgems, Jun 27, 2008 02:43PM
Just wondered if u can help? I have had a bad back for 3 months and have had kidney infection, but after antibiotics was clear, I had damaged ligaments in lower back and saw a physiotherapist which i found intensley painful at certain points of my vertabrae. She gave me some excercises after 4 sessions saying my back had definately improved and i didn't need to see her anymore, so i did and still do the exercises daily (pilates). Found out i had an ovarian cyst (haemorrhagic) 3 days ago and looked on the forum here where everyone seems to have similar complaints of lower back pain and it feels like my spine is in a vice and at times its very uncomfortable and other times bareable but its always there. i was slightly overweight so went on a diet but even the weight loss hasn't done a thing, i've tried heat pads, pain relief pills, pain relief gels, rest, exercise and nothing helps...........can you?
Many thanks
Gemma
