Went away after a few days and I was back lifting. This morning I got out the shower and it just came back, it's sore enough to stop me taking a deep breath. Goes away if I lie on my back for a bit.


Any ideas?

I paid for a bupa checkup and was refered to a specalist. Ironicly the specalist the was the same private guy i was paying to see over the years and he refered me to have an mri scan. Turns out disc 5 in my back is having the jam squeezed out of it.

I go back in a few weeks to see my options. If it stays as an ache i can deal with it. The stabbing pains i cant. Its been three years since it first happened. Just take things very easy until you have had the ok. even if you think its fine, it wont be for a few more weeks.
