HELP!! I need to see a physio therapist or at least someone who can sort out the pain in my back - well it's not quite back pain. symptoms - stabbing pain in side/buttock - can't bend to pick things up, siting hurts - taking a deep breath hurts - any ideas? Difficult to explain sorry - any help would be welcome. Have already tried paracetamol, deep heat, hot water bottle, volerol -no effect at all. Thinking it might be trapped nerve.
