Back pain and balance

[mintymow]

Hi, does anyone know if having back pain (i.e. just below the waist) can make you feel slightly off balance. Although not too pronounced, don't feel I'm going to fall over, more as if I'm on a ship that's rolling slightly. I have some discomfort it my neck as well so may be a combination. Any views really welcomed.

I have sciatica and you could be describing my symptoms. I now carry a walking stick because I sometimes feel I'm going to topple over.
I suggest you go and see your GP.

Leo is correct , the only advice is see your GP as it sounds as though it is a neurological disorder.

Thanks Leo and Sqad for your help. Have made an appointment with my GP. Have to wait until next Tuesday though so will just keep taking the paracetamol in the meantime!
