3 years ago I really hurt my back in a fall (fractured L3 and L5). Unfortunately, the x-ray was misread, so it was not discovered until 6 weeks later. Because I did not know I had fractures I did not take any time off work and just got by with loads of painkillers (thought I was being a wimp).
Anyway, took about 18 months for my back to feel normal.
But in the last 4 months my back has 'gone' 3 times. Today was sitting in the bath, reached forward for the shampoo, and wham, back pain +++. It is radiating down both legs as well (front of legs).
Will I be wasting doctors time if I go to my GP? Will she be able to do anything for me?
Luckily I am on annual leave this week so do not have to go into work.
