Q: I Can't Sit due to left lower back pain

I have pain in my left lower back that is aggravated by sitting (this is a real problem as I have 4 hours of intense class for 4 hours every morning.). It is relieved by standing and lying down. While on my back if I try to stretch my right hamstring I get the pain. I can never seem to stretch the muscle and I don't get relief from muscle relaxers, nsaids, lidocaine patches, and only mild relief with vicodin. I am starting to do phsyioball and core exercises and have noticed that when I contract my glutes the pain is relieved. Sound familiar to anyone?

Me Too!

I see that your post is from last year. Are you better now?
I'm having the same problem and it's really freaking me out. I think it's my si joint but my chiro doesn't think that's all. I'm starting phisical therapy on mon. But I don't know if that is going to help.

I would love any insight you may have.

All of you need to be evaluated by a spine specialist, either an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spines or a neurosurgeon that specializes in spines.

Without proper evaluation, MRI done you can not receive the proper care or PT that is needed.

Bed rest is one of the worst things you can do with a spine problem. It will stiffen the core muscles and all muscles and make your spine problem worse.

Get the proper evaluation and diagnosis so that you can get the help and relief of the pain that you need.

Major back pain-

I have had back pain since my teens diagnosed with scoliosis. I am a 40 year old male. It has been so bad that my physician sent me to a pain specialist. I have degenerative dics disease, scoliosis, herniated discs, two buldging discs, etc. I get epidurals, nerve blockers and cortizone almost once a month. I have a desk job and cannot even sit anymore. I am in tears as we spek it is so bad. I am getting ashot today and I look forward to it. I have to get something done quick. I have 3 young boys.
