lower back and groin area

[Patricia C]

Hi just wondered if anyone can help?

A few years ago i injured my back a work and was of work for a few weeks, then felt little better for a few years...then started a new job 2 years ago and pulled it again and never really got better.

Anyway im 41 now and work for a department store as well as my holistic work which my job includes filling shelfs and standing at a till for 2 hours at a time! I have lower back pain which is also in my legs, hip and groin area..its just a dull ache but really getting me down
Im of to the Physio next month as have a appointment at the hospital.

Is there any exercisers i can try for this ? i swim once a week and also cycle often too.

wow its horrible when you do massage and noone to massage you

Is it the same or similar both sides? Or mostly on one side?

Is it worse later in the day, or in the morning?

Sounds like a disc problem to me (herniated/prolapsed), best to get an MRI to diagnose it properly and go from there.

hi thanks for reply..... in the morning is worse i seeze up and on my right side is worse.
when i went to cyropractor 2 years ago she said slightly dropped right side

Massage of Su-jok acupuncture points may really help (from the experience
on traumas), the points are on fingers joints line, there may be at least 2 schemes, one relating to the moment of trauma in the past.

I always have this chronic pain on my lower back and it hurts for the whole day. its more of an ache than pain! so what do you guys suggest or advice to help it go away

Treatment really depends on what is going on: if it's a soft tissue problem treatment would be different from it being a herniated disk. So the best thing is to get a diagnose (& MRI scan, pay for it yourself if you have to) first.

Pain worse in the morning indicates it's probably not a soft tissue (muscle) problem.
