Constant back pain and sciatica for three years. Been taking codeine for a year. Exercise hasn't helped take Way the constant pain everyday. The pain is generally on left side behind hip and I get shooting pains down leg and through to front of hip. My doctors don't seem to know what to do. I've been to chiropractor and physio. Should I be getting an MRI scan to see what is really going on? I'm only 35 and I can't start a family because of this pain. I can't have sex with my partner as it's too painful. Also mybowels aren't great. Although I toilet everyday - it can be pAinful when stool is moving before going. It's never big so I thought it's not really constipation. Also has big white lumps in it as well. Can you please give advice as to what to do as I am at a loss as to who to go to for help.
also if I bend over and hold it for a while my back cracks quite a lot-almost sounds like it cracks round 8times -is this Just air being released as that's what chiropractor told me
