Sounds to me like you are beginning to get sciatica. That's from torsion in the lower vertebre, aka, lower back trouble.

Sitting a lot and packing on the lbs. can aggravate this, as well as bad posture and just time.

You need several things:

1. some good back and ab excercises
2. make sure your matress doesn't bow in the middle like a hamock - you need good support for sleeping and whatever you do, don't sleep on your stomache!
3. a good chiropractor

To find a good chiro for this, call around and ask them what technique they use. When one says Gunstead, make an appointment. It is a tachnique that works well for this spine problem and especially on larger people. You'll need 2-3 visits a week for the first few weeks and they theybegin to slow down. I go every 1-2 months to keep things in line. Just think of it like aligning the front end og your car. If you don't, your tires wear out, go flat and then you can't drive it!
