I have suffered with back pain intermittently over the years and only recently started to noticed that it seems more prevalent when I am having a period of being unwell or a flare.

So I thought that this news story was interesting this week. guardian.co.uk/society/2013...

I have backache at the moment and have done to a greater or lesser extent for about a month. My back was out the day of the Boston bombings and has has periods where it has got better and worse since. At the moment its more of a gnawing ache.

If it is muscular you could try the 10mins cold (icepack) and ten mins warm(hot water bottle) treatment. Do it once every hour. It really helps. I was told that the cold is to reduce the inflammation and the hot is for the pain. Try to keep moving as well.

My back ache can come on for no reason at all. Particularly if I have been sitting a lot. Weak core strength I think.

If it is still there after a week I would get it checked out.

Hope this helps a bit.
