What would cause a case of chronic back pain?
My fiance' has a pain in her lower back almost everyday. When i massage it i notice that her muscles are almost rock hard/knotted until i massage them. Her doctor has prescribed her with meloxicam which is an arthritis medicine, the medicine does not help at all any other suggestions, besides icy hot, or ibuprofen/pain meds or some sort of diagnosis?

There could be a variety of causes which could also be made worse by occupation or lifestyle. It might be advisable to get your fiance to go and see someone like a chiropractor who can help get to a cause, provide treatment and also give advice and exercises to lessen the chance of re-occurance.

Does she have a desk job or is she a nurse. Those two occupations produce a lot of low back injuries.
Have her ask her Dr for a referral to a Physical Therapist. At least she will get an actual diagnosis.
