I have the most annoying lower back pain with a spiffing mixture of lower tummy pain. My legs even ache.
I would like to say I have been excerising and it is due to that, but that would be a big fat lie I am afraid. I have done no exercise in 2 weeks since moving.
They feel similar to period pains, but now I know they are not.
I hurt, and pain killers aint doing much. Any ideas? Just so I can go and sort myself out
OW!

I have no doctor
Failing that there's always the walk in centre.
ETA something useful. Any chance it could be indigestion or constipation? If not some people find warm baths soothing.
They can also advise you what basic things to try, or not to try, and then advise you weather to seek a GP, or pop along to an NHS drop in centre.
To be fair they are obviously pretty limited in what they can do for you, but they can certainly point you in the right direction as to where to go, and how urgent you should be getting there!
Have your glands settled down yet?
Mr M, they went downish, but one is still slightly up, but not half as bad as before!
I have had warm baths, and at the time it is lovely but then pain comes back as soon as I get out.
I could perhaps just stay in the bath!
I expect they will tell you to get it checked out as this sort of pain sounds like its approximately the area you might associate with kidney pain.
It's not unknown for them not to go down fully, i've had them come up once or twice in the past, 3 or 4 of them all in the same area coming up to well i guess it would be about 1 cm (feels like more!) and they've gone down, but one has remained there about half a cm. So don't worry too much if they don't all go completely, but just keep an eye on them if they should come up again. :thumb:
Just prepare yourself to describe what it is like
What sort of pain is it? is it like aching joints? or muscle tension? or sharp stabbing pains?
Is it worse first thing in the morning or late at night?
Any particular movement or action that sets it off or eases it?
Had any knocks or bangs in the days before, even if they seemed nothing at the time?
Then just give NHS direct a quick ring, they may just tell you to wrap up a hot water bottle and keep it on the area, and rest for a few days, but they'll be able to ask you the questions knowing what to look out for and point you in the right direction should it be anything more problematic.

Well I may give them a call later on, but I have tea to prepare (I have made a cheesecake too today Mr O!) I have just been down to register with a doctor but they are closed until Monday for hols :rolleyes: how very dare they! I went on the NHS website and my nearest walk in centre in 13 miles away!
I will give them a call later on, but I aint dying so surely they will just tell me to go to my GP. :chin:
Either way, I am still going out on the lash, I will just have to have a sit down!
The rooms are fine hun, no worries there. Perhaps my back is craving the sunshine like the rest of me, but no cold rooms!
I have been drinking plenty, always got a drink on the go, but then I normally do!
Still hurts today
