I disagree with 1WeirdGuy on this: Before you go the medical route... you need to look at Muscle Ballance Therapy.
I had horrible back pain for years. Finally got so I could barely work (at all). Normal Physical Therapy was not working. The Dr's wanted to do injections and surgery; but many back surgeries fail (Its so common that they even have a medical diagnosis of "Failed Back Surgery").
I stumbled onto " www.losethebackpain.com " and learned about muscle imbalances; and Muscle Balance Therapy.
I'd been doing physical therapy exercises daily for 3 months with no progress. Once we figured out that I had a significant high hip and a forward tilted pelvis (distorting the back spine significantly). That produced a specific set of exercises for me that I could do at home with only needing to buy a floor mat and a large inflatable ball.
1/2 way through the 1st set of those exercises produced more pain relief than 3 months of normal physical therapy. A few weeks later I was able to return to full work shifts (much faster than back surgery recovery - if you recover as back surgery does not fix muscle imbalances).
It took about 6 months to re-straiten my spine to normal.
That was about a decade ago; and I've never had an injection or a back surgery. I do a shortened back exercise set about 10 minutes long twice a week to keep things aligned.
My understanding is the Muscle Balance Therapy eliminates the need for about 70% or more of most back injections and surgery. My Physical Therapist had no clue. Neither did the Dr's I talked to. Sadly, the Chiropractor I once went to for my back problem only made it worse by "manipulating" my back without doing an evaluation of my spine alignment and prescribing stretches and exercises (so I consider him one of the Quacks that infect the Chiropractic industry as spine alignment and muscle balance is supposed to be their forte).
I suggest that you try Muscle Balance Therapy before doing invasive medical treatments. If you need an injection to get you started - ok. But you may need nothing medically other than doing exercises and stretches to properly align your spine.
I recomend that you at least review the material at www.losethebackpain.com
Click on "Treatments" and I suggest you start with the Muscle Balance Therapy section.
Several hundred dollars to this site for their program a decade ago solved my back problems, after spending thousands at the Dr's, Hospitals, and in Physical Therapy.
If Muscle Balance Therapy does not resolve the issues - then perhaps its time to see a Dr.
I wish you well with your back.. and you have a great life ahead.
I can't do much house work cause I get back pain?
