Doc says have arthritis in lower back but most of my pain is in and around the hip areas. Get severe muscle spasms (charlie horses) in hamstring muscles in back of thigh during the night. May be work related. Climb about 30 flights of stairs and walk a couple of miles a day as a prison guard. Pain got worse after a course of celebrex. Side effects were awful also. Pain does not seem to be in joint but more in muscles or tendons. Muscles in back of legs very tight. Can no longer stretch them out without a lot of pain. Am confused about what to do next. Local radiologist thought pinched nerve in back but spine specialist said arthritis. Anyone else have these kinds of symptoms?
