That's part of the problem with gp's and back pain, unless you fit into a certain age group or its so bad you can't move, they don't really give a ****.
All I keep getting from mine is people under 30 don't suffer from 'back problems' and is just a muscle weakness, but then that doesn't explain the massive bruising (even from just walking) and pins/needles/numbness in my left leg/foot.

Agree entirely with above. Even if they find something operable, then they rarely want to do any surgery unless you are literally screaming in pain 24/7 and unable to function. Up here (in Scotland) they have actually separated out back pain and its treatment to a 'Back pain pathway' system where you self register with physio and go through the system. The GP takes little to do with the case personally
