I have had lower back pain for 5 days now more so when I try moving from a seat should I have it checked out or is it an age thing I am 53?

Have it checked out. It could be anything or nothing but better to be sure. Are you a thyroid patient? Any other symptoms?

Hypo tailbone does exist it seems - perhaps you need an increase in your dose....

I also have this and complained for years eventually having another blood test that told me i was vit D deficient and an x ray that told me i had Scoliosis.I don't know if its these that are causing the pain or my Hypothyroidism but it just shows how you can find things about yerself you didn't know.

When I stand up I get slight pain down my buttocks and leg.Just read it could be sciatica and pain can last for weeks maybe months.

Hi Buddydan, I had similar to you, buttocks pain and down legs like sciatica pain, I found Vit D3 relieved it and now the pain has almost gone, unless I forget to take my D3. I started off being prescribed 1000iu by my Doctor who found my D bloods were slightly deficient.

My 'cure' only came about by chance, I was lucky and would never have guessed D3 could have helped me. It also cured my restless leg problem too. :)

Ibeen also have this, have had it for years, but now I seem to lean forward also, feel like I'm 82, instead of 52. I have been thinking of going to the doc cos been reading it could be MS .
