My Aching Back

Even though I am loaded up on Flexiril and Flector patches, my back is still giving me loads of pain. When I have back pain I have no hip pain, and when I have hip pain I have no back pain. I still would much rather have hip pain! I went into my office yesterday for a co-worker to ART my back. It hurt like a bitch, but I felt a lot better after. Today my PT did some deep tissue work on me. Both said that I am having a ton of tightness all along my spine on the right side, with tons of knots and tender points. I think that my legs are too weak still, and my back is working overtime. Tomorrow I have a "secret appointment" with my OS' PT, I am not telling my other PT, but I need to get to the bottom of this before I go crazy!
