See a provider: Since your symptoms are different enough to ask for help it is a good idea for you to see a health care provider for them.

Yes.: Not a bad idea. There are several things that can affect the spine besides arthritis, injury, and herniated discs. Relief from worry with the knowledge you did all you could to take care of yourself is a good feeling. At the least your doctor could prescribe something for the pain if it bothers you.
