Anyone hear of trigger points?

I've had a life of back problems and have found deep tissue massage and Hydrotherapy (spa) to work best for me.

One of the longest periods of pain free living came after an acupuncture session though....

Your pain sounds very similar to where mine is and standing for long periods of time really aggravates mine as well as periods of high stress.

Try a good massage therapist who knows deep tissue massage and let them really put you through an hour of elbow in the back pain and you'll come out feeling like butter.
