I am having terrible back ache at the moment, fell down my stair last November, thought I had broke my back the pain was and is bad. left it until march this year before seeing a Doctor, had an MRI scan, I have Arthritis in the spine, more pain that I really don't need, I couldn't do the cleaning, bless you for powering on.
Omgosh that sounds terrible!!! I hope you feel better soon. I have a bit of arthritis in my spine too - I go along fine for a while then I do some work and it's back to square one again - I do wonder if it's all worth it lol
