Lumbar Issues

Hi Sarah:

I have had back issues for some time now. Mainly in the sacral area. In this instance, I had palpitations run down my legs and after a visit to the chiropractor, my right leg locked up in pain. this pain was centered from the knee up to the hip and by walking backwards and sitting down the jabbing pain eases. This has eased of course. But the pain is similar to pain that I endured when I had bursitis, except the bursa was not in pain. In my late sixties I am retired by very active with bike riding, walking and weight training (which at the moment is not happening)

I do have your book, Back Sufferer's Bible. But being of limited knowledge, I cannot work out the symptoms that occur in your book.

I love cooking and standing around at the counter I feel the strain just in my ribcage just below the armpits. I am currently under the doctor and diagnosis despite x-rays, cat scans and further imaging. Doctors reckon it is wear and tear although my career was as an architect that was not entirely sedentary.

I reside 300km on the East side of Melbourne.

Regards
Charles
