58/8 have suffered very similiar back pain when carrying out any continuos movement e,g, preparing food ironing etc. over the last 3 years.Seems worse when standing ,try to sit on high stool whilst doing these things if she still has quite good stability My favourite relief is a little rolly poly thing!! called the' body hugger 'warmed up in the microwave and applied to the most painful spot. My neurologist said I was developing scoliosis guess what he is right on my next visit am trying to get some kind of physiotherapy or exercise direction. Anyoneone else at this earlier stage of scoliosis give some info.? Massage of course is the ultimate.A wonderful book for learning all is HANDS ON HEALING Massage remidies for hundreds of Health Problems put out by editors of Prevention Magazine John Feltman Can be fun too! Best of Luck Have a wonderful day Margaret Clark
