Pain Below My Waist When I Stand Long Posted: 11-15-06 12:48pm
Hello,
i am 28, male. 5'11", 65 kgs. I have
been having this chronic pain starting
from my waist (at the back side) right
till the toes that too only when I stand
up for more than 5 minutes(without
movements as in shopping etc). While
sitting, walking, running or playing I
feel no pain at all. Once the pain(ache)
starts, it forces me to sit somewhere or
lie down on the bed and after sometime
pain vanishes. Alternatively, when I do a
small excercise of bending my body forward
to touch my toes with hand, I get a lot of
relief, which makes me think this is
something neural(i.E. Stretching of my
body forward eases pain).
This has been happening for almost 6 years
now. Initially I went to a local hospital
and I was refered to orthopaedics where
routine checks (blood test, x-ray) were
performed and was told no major issues.
After that, I kind of neglected it.
Nowadays I observe this pain engulfs me
within a very short period.
Being an it professional, most of the time
I spend sitting, continuously.
Could anyone please suggest me the right
course of action ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
i believe you may possibly benefit from
going back to your gp, telling them the
exact same information and seeing what
they can offer. It may be that only an
mri may show the actual problem, if any
discs or nerves are involved. X-rays will
generally only show bone issues, however
they are much cheaper and have a much
shorter waiting time on the good old nhs.
Have you considered seeing an osteopath
for their opinion? They are highly
under-rated in this day and age and will
absolutely give you far more time, care
and interest than a general gp. If they
suspect you need a scan they can also
write to your gp suggesting it, you can
then be referred to whoever may best be
able to help you.
There are far too many people out there
trying to treat themselves with
painkillers when they have undiagnosed
conditions and do not even know whats
wrong, in the uk its practically an
epidemic.
I have just started a forum for fellow
brits suffering back pain, but nobody
seems to have heard of it yet, please
google it to find me. I am a long-term
sufferer of a variety of back pains and
have been through the processes many
times.
