I need to get to the bottom of this

Maybe it was like a charlie horse. My husband has had them so bad they have left bruises on his legs. But that is usually at night. I would check with the doctor if I were you.

it sounds like some muscle cramp.a local application of painkiller may help.maybe it is a sprain .i guess you need to wait for a day or two,to get to the bottom of this.

Are you kidding me? Every time I stand up I've got some new ache or stiff joint. I've recently started thinking that maybe I need to start taking calcium, because I rarely drink milk. At this rate, I'm going to be a brittle old woman within the year. Some of it might be from being on my feet all day, but I think a lot of it is from poor nutrition and lack of milk in my diet.

What a bum deal! Pains that appear from nowhere are by the far the most frustrating. Pains with no obvious injury are also unfortunate, as it's so hard to elicit any decent sympathy for something noone can see!

ive had that and know people that have had that and it is probably a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle.. since you didnt fall or do a lot of sitting on hard surfaces i wouldnt think it would be a bruised tail bone or anything

Sounds like Siatic nerve problems

Hey don't you think you should be checking this out with the Doctor who is the expert on this? I don't think you should be taking any chances.

[i]Hello p1kef1sh, My back recently just got painful. I thought it was my back because it seems I have such bad posture sitting down and most of the time I was just sitting down. My wife suspect not my back but some other thing. It turn out it is not my back, it somewhere in my buttocks that is hurting. After a few days of rest the pain stop. I am still not sure what cause it, it might happen again. You are right that you need to get to the bottom of the pain. It's hard enough not to feel well. Maybe a few days of rest will stop the pain. Our bodies needs to repair itself also and without enough rest if will not be able to do it until it get worse and we are force to take a rest. Regards.[/i]

Lower back pain is quite common, especially in Seniors. Muscle mass is continually shrinking as we age. One of the best and the most economical preventions to muscle loss is Yoga. Yoga programs are free on many TV channels. Take lessons if you have the time, or get a book. Your back pain didn't come from nowhere! Get with it and do some exercises! I'm a Yogi, age 75, and still working!

probably not. whenever I have a muscular pain I can usually attribute it to something that I have done. It may not be directly related but usually has some bearing on the pain that I am feeling. I sympathsize though. It is no fun to be feeling pain for any reason.

Oh yes I have some sort of pain all the time. It is a symptom of CFS that can be really difficult. The pain just moves around my body so it could be a severe headache, legs, arms, neck or back pain in the upper of lower back. I also get joint pain in fingers and knees. It is not severe pain but it is constant and until I got it I never realised how disabling constant pain can be. I could start the day with a headache and go through different kinds of back pain or leg pain the same day or I could have all three which is not fun. It is erratic and has no know cause. Could you have bruised the area?

Yes, that happens sometimes. Once im offline i will still be on the computer. I play sims2 alot. Sometimes too much and i dont realize how much till i run out of dishes or silverware. By then my bum hurts on both sides. And i still want to play the game. But instead i have to force myslef to go do housework. Just to get off mu bum.

Things like this happen to me all the time, don't know why but they don't usually last that long.

I was leaning on the kitchen bench jotting something down on paper and my back just seized up and I was not able to move without excruciating agony. I ended up on the floor. My husband was freaking out and wanted to call an ambulance but I wouldn't let him and my little girl started screaming hysterically when she heard the word "hospital". I stayed flat on the floor for around 20 minutes until I was able to ever so slowly get up to the couch. The pain subsided eventually but my back was sore for about two weeks. The doctor said it was a muscular spasm of some sort, he gave me a name for it that I don't remember; all I recall is OUCH! Very, very painful!

Yes I have it just takes one wrong move P1ke and that is it I hope it will sort itself out and is not giving you to much Pain

[i]Hi p1, Sometimes when I am in bed and I will move hastily while changing a position, I will be attack by a painful in the lower part of my armpit, then I will stop and hold it and it will just be fine after! I have no clue what was it, it's not often though![/i]

If it is above your buttock, then I think it sounds like your ciatic nerve. Not sure I spelled that right. Anyway, I also have this pain sometimes. It is from my discs in my back. You could have strained or overstretched and popped a disc out, which in turn, pushes on the nerve. Sometimes the pain will go right down my leg. You could have done something days ago and/or a repetative action that has repeatedly irritated it and now it has finally gotten to the point of pushing out the disc to cause you pain. I say go to the Dr. and have it checked out. Your back is an important thing to take care of. Do you wanna know how I slipped the disc on my back, years ago? You have some chickens, now, right? That's how I did it. The chickens were wanting their water and of course the bucket had frozen, but I underestimated how much water was left in it and had frozen before picking it up. And they were all running around the pail, anxious for their water to be replaced, so they were in my way. Instead of pushing them out of the way, I over-reached and picked up the pail. I felt it rip right away. I ended up 'bed-bound' for weeks while I recovered. All because I was used to a certain amount of frozen water left in their pail, but the temperature had dropped very low very quickly the night before, so they didn't really get much chance to drink anything and almost the whole pail was full of ice. So when I tried to just pick it up, while leaned over and stretched out, since the pail was pretty much full, that's what hurt my back. The blasted chickens.

Its from sitting on your bottom to much and from being such a pain in the bottom!! x x I always get muscular pain, especially when I am working!! My muscles just arent strong enough to be used the way they are!! lol It really is hard work working in a store!!!!!!!

A few years ago I was doing some work on a house I was selling. I jumped down off the ladder, just two rungs down, and my right hip started bugging me. I didn't think anything about it because I thought I had just jammed it a little. I found out that my right hip needed to be replaced because the bone was dying. It came out of nowhere but if I hadn't jumped down it would have taken longer to surface. Better go to the doctor just to check it out.

Hi there pike. It's called a cramp (sort of) i think. I have had them and my dad has had them, and all my family had them from time to time. They are quite annoying especially when you can't move your feet very long (i usually get them at my feet). I am just 21 years old so don't worry to much about it if it only happens from time to time. If it happens a couple of times a week then you should visit a doctor to get examined.
