Hi alamb200,

Its hard to say what the cause of the pain is without being able to physically assess you...

Are the pain in the back and the tightness in the hamstrings always present together or are they ever independen of each other?
What kind of treatments/exercises/advice have you been given so far and would you say that any of them have helped or made the symptoms worse?

Also has anyone assessed the mobility of your Sacro-illiac joints or the positioning of you pelvis? It would seem to me that the area of pain and the high level of activity would make this the first area which I would clear
