Hi I feel your pain. I am currently trying to get rid of my lower back pain. Also went the route of physio, GPs, scans, specialist, Ortho, NO LUCK. Spoke to a friend who works for SpineAlighn,recommeded a Chiro. Had three sessions in a week and so far so good. I still have to stretch often though. Give Chiro a shot, its cheaper than a Nuero surgeon ande worth the shot.
