Hi not sure if anyone can give me some advice ,been suffering from lower back pain for yrs but put it down to age .The last Yr or so have been suffering with severe fatigue lower back pain worse in the morning but eases once up and about after an hr or so later in the day once I stop it starts up again ,I have pain in my neck and shoulders sometimes and my breastbone when I'm in bed which scares me sometimes because I think it could be a heartattack but it always goes off eventually ,I also had a strange burning stinging sensation in the back of my heel which has now gone numb.My xrays and blood tests showed no markers but mri showed some borderline inflammation of the sacroiliac joints naproxin helps somewhat but not all the time. Rheumatologist sent a report to me that it's probable mechanical due to osteoarthritis as I have this in my hands and wrists, should I except this as a diagnosis as none of the mechanical symptoms fit not sure what to do at my review,thanks for your time and any in put would be greatfully received
