Lower Back Pain

My health is suffering very badly this year. Gosh, I am not even 30, no baby, not married yet and I have a whole load of health problems. I am so so so so sad.

My most recent problem is my back pain. The gastric is somewhat cured as I can eat normally but just avoid spicy, oily and cold. However the lower back hurts somewhat and I feel like some old woman clutching and holding my back. I can’t bend forward properly and the pain radiates to my buttocks and my knees and sometimes my ankles or even the soles. It hurts the most when I am sitting down such that I cannot sit for long periods of time (such as 2 hours) and must get up to walk. There are days where it hurts so much all I want to do is lie in bed yet I can’t. Sigh. And I don’t want to take painkillers because it solves the symptoms but not the root of the problem.

At first I suspected I over-stretched when I exercised as it got worse while I brisk walked. Yet the pain still comes on and off. I really do not know what’s wrong with me!!! I think I need acupuncture again. Sianz. When the pain comes on, I have to use a heat pad to relieve the pain or sometimes an ice pack. I am so afraid when I sneeze or cough vigorously as it may affect my stiff back. I used to be able to walk fast and jump but this few weeks, I am slow and deliberate. Maybe I should take some glucosamine. Oh, I hate those big pills, cannot swallow them at all and I will drink like 2 cups of water just to push it down my throat!

Why do I have so much health problems this year?? Maybe the fengshui in my office is bad, especially my seat. I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.
