Now have you had a test for Ankolysing Spodylitis? Get a HLA-B27 blood test.

I have a specialist appointment next week with a rheumatologist as I am HLA-B27 positive, have a night back pain, pain in the lower butt like a sore hammy, back generally feels better after I get up and start to move around etc. Little brother has fairly advanced AS as well.
Over 12 months now with no more than 5hrs continuous sleep.....did I mention I am more tired than I have a sore back
Worth a shot, at this point ill try anything.
As i told Simmsy in a pm, yesterday here at work was the worst day i have had pain wise since i did it by far.
Ive been having regular chiro/massage since i injured it,in fact i had treatment on it last friday.
Im at a point where yes, the next step is an MRI.....
Last night i went to the soccer on 2 Voltaren 25's, and when i got home i was in so much pain i took an Endone....!
Im off to the doc soon, try get a referral for an MRI.....

The other thing that I would recommend is stretch those hammies and calves. As simple as even just standing up put one foot back and push your hands against a wall. the foot back you should feel the stretch up your calve. Simple stretch and while it is for the calve I find it actually helps the lower back a bit. My pysio has me doing these and my mum actually got shown a similiar by her physio. May not work for you but worth a try??

Good luck with it mate...
My commuter is very rider/cruiser friendly, i have no probs riding it.
Im stretching daily, but im at a point where i need further investigations....
