Jak and Matilda, I get the impression that beyond the hands-on therapies (chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, acupuncture), exercise (strengthening, stretching) and antiinflammatories, there is little conventional medicine can do, so I'm reluctant to spend time pursuing tests.
I've started a natural antiinflammatory called MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), which is supposed to be good for healing muscoloskeletal injuries. I'm on my second day, and my back feels better than it has in a couple of weeks. I'm also taking Calcium and Magnesium at night, which is supposed to relax the muscles.
If it doesn't improve, than my next step is either acupuncture or massage. Thanks for your concern. As resilient as we try to be, stress still takes its toll.
I have no pain when moving, dancing, or walking, so I'm assuming that movement is therapeutic. I think my body is also adapting to the Pilates.
