How is your diet perhaps you have a lot of inflammation ?

I always stretch before I get out of bed and then again 15-20 minutes later. Just about 3-4 minutes.

Cant help ya with any dr recommendations !

Good Luck !!!

Try a month of low carb(Keto/Atkins/whatever) and see if that lowers your overall pain level. With this job, we should all be trying to lower our overall inflammation levels.

I m far away. Have you tried rest? Over time micro trauma destroys your ability for your incredible body to repair itself. Nerve damage is real and if you don't let up the pain doesn't either. Pain is your bodies speech. You deserve to have a peaceful life after retiring. Don't give it away. Take care mwellis32. Do you like pineapple? Be sure to eat the core too. Sorry for your pain

Have you tried an inversion table? A friend at work says it really helps him. He'll do it in the morning for a few minutes and in the evening. He often tries to go by the house on his lunch break also.

To join the choris, do you or have you drove a pov with out right hand steering or breaks? I am wondering if this is a major contrutore to these kinds of issues with Rural Carriers.

I had the lower back pain for almost a year. Yup bulging disc.......had two steriod injections in the lower back seems to really help, but then again I'm going to retire, I know that will REALLY help!!!!

If you are comfortable with stretching, piriformis muscle stretches can work wonders. And limit any hard surface seating. Try 2 weeks of laying flat on a bed or couch over chair positions when home. It gives the body time to lesson inflammation.
