Hi everyone I could use some advice please. For about 10 days now my lower back has been really painful. Its a constant ache with pain going into my buttocks and top of legs. It feels like a period pain type but i'm not on my period and sometimes have a sort of dragging feeling. If i'm doing a lot of standing or walking it feels worse and sometimes have a bloated feeling. Can't get to the docs till mext week but any help to relieve it would be great.

Possibly your SI joint? You describe exactly my recent issues with this.

Physio exersises were pelvic tilts, bridge and superman plus a support belt which gave immediate relief - mine is serola but you can get others. I'd get it sorted out asithink mines worse after ignoring it.

Pillow between legs at night if on side. Definitely get a support belt
