It could be anything from your bed, pillows, and even the kind of shoes you are wearing. Have you tried getting a second opinion? Pain Clinics are good @ pinpointing the cause and getting the proper treatment for you. It can be caused by a variety of reasons, but, pain means a problem. Here are some sites below to help you out. Have you tried taking up to 800 mg of ibuprophen every 6 hours? This is a great anti-inflammatory. While @ rest you may want to try icing the area. While up and around, there is a product called Thermacare, it is like having an heating pad without and electric cord and works up to 8 hours, penetrating to the core of the pain. Good luck and take care!

To get rid of this problem you need to see a chiropractor. They can identify what is causing this and you won't have to use drugs. I recommend you see a chiropractor as soon as possible. You will be glad you did.

sounds to that it is muscle spasms and your spine is pinching a nerve
