Is it worth seeing a doctor about this? At it's worst I can't put my socks on. I'm treating myself with over the counter pain relief. I can't see what a doctor could do?

I do quite a bit of exercise but this back pain is making it painful/less enjoyable.

I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday. For now I'm using a hot water bottle and Nurofen Plus.

The doctor was quite dismissive of my stress theory. I think as soon as he heard about my main hobby (climbing) he lost interest. I lay on his table where he lifted my legs up and down a bit. End result was (after asking) was a physio referral.

Thanks for everyone's useful thoughts.
