As my lower back pain worsened (and started to radiate to my groin and knee) I decided to pay my GP a visit. Frankly, I was worried that something was wrong in the groin area. So the doctor had a look, felt around and had another look, and decided there was nothing wrong in the groin area. Relief. But he advised me to get X-rays, and referred me to the nearest orthopedic surgeon, because he had a suspicion that the sensation I felt in my knee and groin had something to do with my lower back pain.
After I got my X-rays at my local clinic, I made a appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. After a short introduction, I was asked to stand up straight and make a few moves. After that, I had to lay on a table, and again was asked to move my legs etc. All in all took about 3 minutes. Surgeon sat back at his desk, and said "We need a MRI scan, the X-rays are not detailed enough for us to decide what's wrong with your back. You will probably need surgery." And I was told to go and get that scan, and come back.
