question: I am a 37yr old female with no relevant medical history. I pulled a bed rail up and felt a very sharp pain in my lower back. I ve had this pain for over a year and have since experienced referred pain in my hips. I take naproxen and cocodamol regularly but this isn t helping. I ve see a physiotherapist and an osteopath but my pain comes on after sitting or standing for as little as 10mins. I ve asked for an MRI scan but have been told by my doctor that this wouldn t help. What else can I do? What tests would I benefit from? I feel pain even at rest.
