Hi Everyone... Im new to this, after reading many posts hoping to find someone with simlar symptoms, but as of yet, nothing. For the last few months, I have had this deep ache on my middle back between shoulder blades and radiates around that area. Its not painful, but more burning/nagging pain that comes and goes. Also linked to this is a deep pain in my leg that is pretty constant, right behind my knee one day, calf the next and then upper thigh into buttock. Difficult to sit, and stand, I get relief I think when i go to bed. Ive done every blood test possible including enzymes to see if its a blood clot and all was fine. Chest Xray was all fine. I suffer reflux. I'm really worried as tomorrow i embark on a 15 hr flight and dont know how my leg will cope. I have seen the chiropracter 4 times and an osteopath 3 and no joy whatsoever. Can these pains be linked and does it sound like sciatica?? I thought sciatica only comes with lower back pain, but i dont suffer that. However, my lower spine does click most days after sitting at my desk for a few hours.. Its really getting me down. Im off on my 40th birthday holiday tomorrow to easter island from UK and I just cant deal with this pain and worry...Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers everyone. Jason
