Dodgy back for years. Now for the 3rd time in 18 months it's gone suddenly, searing burning pain across lower back. This happened Wednesday. GP would only give naproxen which told him didn't work last time. Wouldn't refer me for physio as waiting list is 8 - 10 months. Have bought my own cocadamol 8/500, ibuprofen gel, voltarol, deep heat and nothing is making the pain even mildly better. I'm uncomfortable in every single position. Can't sleep at night for the pain. Any suggestions anyone. Feeling desperate. Have booked private MRI for Monday. Already regularly see osteopath.
