Bad Back
Hello,
Hoping someone might be able to tell me what is wrong with my back. I woke up about a week ago and found that I have sharp pains in the bottom of my spine/tops of my legs when I am standing. No pain at all when I lie down or sit down.
If I walk it is sore, and when I stand still I get sharp pains which make me flinch.
I can't remember doing anything which would cause this, and I don't think it's sciatica as when I had that many, many years ago, the pain was overwhelming and went down the back of only one leg. This shoots either side, but not down my legs.

This sounds very much like coccydinia. No big deal but Google it and get back to us if you need further help.
