Well since August 2013 (when this thread started) I have been suffering with leg pains and back pain. Visits to a physio seemed to help little and eventually I was referred to a back specialist who immediately ordered an MRI scan.

The result of this has revealed I have intradural tumours in the spine which may be Ependymomas and hopefully benign. I was referred to a neurosurgeon, had more MRI scans which confirmed only tumours in the Lumbar region of my spine.

Well, on Thursday this week I will be admitted to hospital for surgery when hopefully it will be removed.

So the moral of this story is if you are suffering get an MRI scan.
