Smilingcat, maybe you should see an M.D., just to get a diagnosis. there are so many causes of back pain. It could be related to disc problems, or something else altogether. You really need to know what the source of the problem is so you can make a choice of treatment. You don't necessarily have to go with the physician's suggersted treatment, but at least you will know what the cause of the problem is and then search out treatment alternatives. Just IMHO.
