[QUOTE="93Cobra#2771, post: 17020466, member: 4599"] Not all back pain is muscle related. I discovered I have mild scoliosis (curvature of the spine) along with degenerative disk disease. That, in turn, causes a nerve in my back to be compressed between the vertebrae on one side. Absolute shooting pain from my waist around to front of my thigh. Meloxicam (super strength ibuprofen) has proven effective for me for now. There will be a point where I can't take it any more due to side effects/liver, etc. Prior to it, on a pain scale of 1-10, I was a daily 2 with flareups hitting 7-8. With it, I'm now at a .5 or so, and have occasional twinges of 3-4 but nothing like the 8 that would put me to the ground. Point being, until you get properly diagnosed (x rays and MRI) you really don't know what you have going on. In my case, I can flex a specific muscle in my back and cause pain. The nerve is inflamed and muscle presses against it. For example, I have to brace myself to sneeze. This likely all stems from a motorcycle crash I had when I was 15, which left me with one leg 3/8" shorter than the other. Over time, it has caused a shift in my hips, along with a corresponding curvature of my spine. I am now 51 and hope I don't have to have surgery one of these days. We shall see. GET YOURSELF DIAGNOSED. Don't live with it 4-5 years like I did. Going to the gym has helped with flexibility and strength to support the problem areas, but I could be Mr Olympia and it would still have issues. [/QUOTE]
