I'd really try to ice your back where you think this is coming from.

Stay away from heat for now. Ice for 20min 3 times a day and see what develops.

If you think someplace in the back is the epicenter, you can ask to try Lidoderm patches (ask your doctor as they are RX only) back there... they do work. Sometimes you have to several days in a row to get a feel for how they are working. Expensive but less so if you have insurance.

I've used Lidoderms for a long time successfully.

Put the ice on your back and knees for now...see which works the best. This will be a clue to what is driving your pain.

I am sorry you are hurting so much.... did something trigger you? Like too much bending over to pick up your babies?
