nekowafer:
Ask for an x-ray. Simple, relatively cheap, and very quick. It will show the basics of what's going on and tell the doc if there are any problems in your spine.
Also I love getting presents. But I also love giving presents. The buying shit for significant others should really go both ways.

I feel the same way, Neko. And to be honest, I prefer the little, well thought out gifts/things more than anything. If something I own is going to be super expensive, I'd rather wait it out, do my research, make sure I'm getting exactly the thing I want, get a good deal on it and pay for it myself.
A pair of fuzzy socks made you think of me so you bought them? Awwwwww.
You found the awesome scarf I wanted at 75% off? I'm so proud!
Someone at work gave you colored pencils so you brought them home for me? Omg awesome!
Did my laundry? FUCK YEAH.
Don't get me wrong, my tablet for Christmas was pretty sweet but that's actually useful. The idea of receiving expensive gifts like jewelry/designer crap and going to fancy dinners just doesn't do it for me. If I want something fancy, I'll wait til I can afford it, buy it secondhand or use a random internet coupon code to get it myself. We use coupons 95% of the times we go out to eat and watch all the movies we want for free at the local theatre where Nick's brother works. And we still sneak in candy. :-P

Yeah, the only jewelry I've been bought has been my engagement ring. :-P I hardly wear jewelry and generally have no use for it. But last year for Christmas he got me a set of really nice interchangeable knitting needles and seriously that's the best gift anyone has ever gotten me. I use them all the time and I love them.
Welu, definitely ask for an x-ray. Something else could be going on. Also what kind of exercise do you do? If you're experiencing pain, you should try low-impact exercises that don't strain your joints or back.
Welu:
The only proper exercise I do right now is light-ish aerobics, once a week. Other than that it's walking a whole bunch because even jogging is a bit too much on my hips. I know the ideal exercise for me is swimming but I'm overly self-concious, even for the ladies night at my local pool. I've whined here before how "modest" suits are either not what I want or stupidly expensive. I should just buy a one-piece and some men's shorts.
I got over the self-conciousness at the gym once I realized everyone is doing they're own thing and most don't acknowledge anyone else unless they're hovering for a machine. I assume that the attitude should be similar in the swimming pool?
I'm fairly sure it's related to sciatica, since my Mammy says my pain sounds similar to hers and for her it started at the same age. I did book the doctor's appointment at least. It's reached the point a five hour shift at work, which involves being on my feet and some light lifting, is enough to leave me in agony the rest of the day.
Barmymoo:
Something else that is relevant to swimming pools is that as soon as you're in the water, you're barely visible. The water obscures the shape of people and no one is looking anyway. You can walk to and from the water in a towel and only be visible to anyone who happens to glance your way for a matter of seconds.
