Oh dear...is it in your lower back? Shooting down your leg(s)? If so, it could be a herniated or ruptured disc. When it happened to me last July, I couldn\'t figure out what I had done, I just knew a physical pain like nothing before....I could not get comfortable no matter what...lying, sitting, walking....nothing helped. I laid in bed for 3 months hoping it would get better, and grieving harder than ever, and then a few doctors telling me my pain was because of my grief, etc....then I finally found this Back and Spine Neurocience Group in my area, and they did an MRI and, yup, ruptured disc.....they did not do surgery yet, I have had injectioons and a few procedures, and I am in pain management (See my previous journals!) and I feel pretty good now, however, I have had to accept that this is my lot in life, and it can\'t really be \"Fixed\" just maintained....but you should get an MRI right away, to start with....don\'t put it off too long like I did! I wish you the best, back pain is no fun, I will be thinking of you. Love, Carole
