As useful as Google is, it can easily lead us down a path that just frightens us to death, best to see the GP. I could tell you what my lower back pain was but that would only show you one of many causes. For me it was muscular spasms. Plus I also had sciatica.You might like to review your statin situation after you've sorted out the lower back pain. I took statins for 17 years, I stopped 4 years ago because my low carb diet helped my total cholesterol drop like a stone. The leg pain I experienced was different to the sciatica pain.That could mean you are well hydrated.You know what your doctor will say? Don't press down on your left rib.So, it really goes back to my first statement, best to see your GP. One thing you might like to do is exactly what you have done here, write it all down, it saves time and makes sure that you tell your GP everything that's on your mind. I was always forgetting stuff and if you're trying to stick to ten minutes, having all the facts written down is a great help. I just hand my notes over and the GP will even get them scanned to go straight into my notes.All the best.</blockquote>
