hi thanks for getting back to me so soon.
the pain occurs when bending and also when lifting. i try to avoid lifting anything much these days. i am tsking lyrica(pregbalin ) tablets daily. these have helped me out a fair bit but i dont want to have to take them for the rest of my life. before i was prescribed then i would struggle at times to get back up off a chair if i sat down for a good while. Also it got to the stage where i would have to walk with small steps as i simply wssnt able to walk normally. occasionally when sitting i get a pain in my back also. best way i could describe it is that its like there is pressure been put down on my back , the tablets seem to have alleviated this in the main. i can also get a sharp shooting pain in to my back every now and again which lasts just for a second. its like something has touched a nerve
