I am in great sympathy with you. I have been a sufferer myself of similar pains, and have sciatica.

However, there are many possible causes for the pains you describe. You can have pulled muscles, strained muscles, a pinched nerve, etc. Frankly, my best recommendation is to take aspirin, if you are not allergic to it. It is a great pain killer and anti inflammatory. If you can't take aspirin, then tylenol [paracetamol], but it is not as effective. This would at least help you through your vacation. You may not like to take pills, but isn't that better than a ruined vacation?

And you will have to see a doctor when you get back. There can be some minor problem with your spine, for instance. Two different factors can be causing the pains. You may be given a range of exercises to ease the pain.

If you look on the web, you will just see a range of possibilities, and suggestions by sufferers not medically trained, not to speak of charlatans. An informed medical opinion is what you need!
