Dealing with Chronic Low Back Pain

I have chronic low back pain on my right side. I can only walk or stand for a short time before I am in pain. Sitting relieves the pain.

What kind of medical follow up have you all had for this? If you haven’t had an MRI yet, I’d suggest you ask your doctor to order one.

I have my pain in my middle lower back. I'm good sitting, an laying down. I can't stand to stand to long. I'm afraid I might have to use a Cain if I'm going to walk a distance.

When back pain is isolated to one side of the body and radiates down your leg it could indicate you may have a herniated disc. This is why I mention the importance of having an MRI. About a year ago I want through this. I couldn’t be on my feet for a few minutes at a time. Some people have good luck with physical therapy to correct this. I unfortunately needed surgery & am still recovering after 6+ months.

I’m wondering if I have a herniated disc in my lower back . I’ve had 2 herniated discs c5 to c7 about 7 years ago and still have nerve pain issues from that . Now I’m having severe pain in my lower back, down my right hip and buttock and to my right foot. It has bothered me off and on since I had epidural with my last child February of last year but after a 10 hour trip in a car , I’m in so much pain. I would rather have a baby with no epidural than deal with this. I’m having to use a cane and that doesn’t always help. Last night the pain was so intense that I peed my pants and almost called an ambulance bc I couldn’t get out of bed . Every time I moved the pain was horrible . I was in tears and scared. I’m waiting on my husband to get back in town to go to the doc . I can barely walk and any sudden movement is so painful .
