Anyone hear of trigger points?

Speaking as a PT, my first line of action is to figure out what is causing it. Most Chriopractors (not all, I know a few good ones) will tell you that you are out of allignment. The one question that I always ask is why? The symtoms that you are describing can be coming from multiple sources and if you don't find the source it will never go away, even after injections.
So my advice is to find someone that will tell you "why", and not just what.

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.
