What’s the difference between chronic back pain and sciatica?

I have been experiencing strong and consistent back pain for as long as I can remember (I am 25 now). It starts with a little discomfort in my lower back, and about 20 minutes later, if I don’t take pain medication, my joints will start to ache on one side (my hip, my knee, my ankle). X-rays show some minor scoliosis and a compressed disc (L4 and L5). So far, orthopedic surgeons are reluctant to do anything or even take me seriously because I’m “not old enough to be in a lot of pain.”

My question is, could this be something more than a compressed disc? I’ve heard mention of sciatica but I have no idea what that is. I can usually catch it before it gets too bad, but it takes about 4 pills a day (Excedrin, Advil, etc) and I don’t think that’s a good long term answer.

And, one last question – what can I say to the doctor to get him to take me seriously?

Over the years I have found many natural treatments for back pain. I had to because I suffered from severe lower back pain too. At times I couldnt even walk. There isnt a magic one treatment fits all solution to back pain either. At least I never found one. The good news though is that there arent very reasons for back pain, and there are many natural treatment options available. Growing up, and into my thirties I lived an active life with sports, hard work and many activities. I was so strong that I never thought about having physical limitations other than the occasional injury. It was a shock to me when I started having debilitating back problems. Mostly it was in the lower back though other areas would become involved. I wont go into the whole story now, but I ended up having several problems which included severe lower back pain. Western medicine had treatments for everything else, but I was left barely able to walk. There were many times when I simply couldnt walk. There wasnt really a comfortable

What would cause a case of chronic back pain?

My fiance’ has a pain in her lower back almost everyday. When i massage it i notice that her muscles are almost rock hard/knotted until i massage them. Her doctor has prescribed her with meloxicam which is an arthritis medicine, the medicine does not help at all any other suggestions, besides icy hot, or ibuprofen/pain meds or some sort of diagnosis?

What do you do for your chronic back pain to cope day to day?

Have lots of back problems. I have 6 hernieted discs(that I know, we have never done an MRI of the thoracic spine). I had a fusion in my neck and I also have a hemangioma on one of my vertebrae that is causing pain. The back pain causes arm and leg pain, my right leg goes numb all the time and then my left leg picks up the slack, making my knee hurt. I am 28 and have been dealing with the worst of this for 3 years. I know this will be a life long battle. All of those that have had chronic pain for many more years then me, what have you done and what are you with pain control efforts? What kind of road am I heading down I guess is what I want to know?
Just so everyone knows, I do work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week at a hospital, so I am pretty much on the run during those times. I have 3 children. The 2 oldest are in school and walk them to the bus stop. I clean my house, do yard work, walk the dogs, Everything that everyone else does. I am not just sitting on a couch crying all day. I have been working on losing my many extra pounds and have lost about 30 pounds and instead of the pain getting better with less weight, it is getting worse. So, basically, I just want to know where everyone has been in a journey like mine.
