Yes I believe you have been following my story but I had lower back injury back in 2018. It took me 3 years to recover. It's leg weakness and numbness in legs and feet. I know it's lower back connected because I recently have been trying to streach it and all it does is make matters worse. Pinched nerves or disc's. Could be muscles. Because I have had 2 mri and no findings. No slipped disc's. That was back in 2018/2019. I am heading back to go see a spine doctor. Get another mri. If you have any questions or advice. I know you have left me messages before already. But where I am now is getting worse and worse. Anything I do. Makes it 10x worse. I tried putting a pillow under my knees recently. I slept maybe a few hours like that. The pain and misery I have been in this week from that. I can't even begin to explain. That's how I know it's connected to lower back. Now after those 3 years of healing. I began to go out and move and whatever happened healed almost completely. Other then I had to regain strength in my legs. Which took awhile. But I recently started a school where I'd be standing for long periods of time. And I over did it. It blew out whatever is wrong with me. And I am back to where I was in 2018. I never pushed my limits before because I was in fear I'd end up back where I am. My like everyone's else's is complicated. Mine is a mystery. I go looking and trying things like I just did with the pillow under knees and it sends me back weeks. I am looking for support. And looking for understanding/diagnosis. I have been to a spine doc 2x a day both after my mri say there is nothing wrong it's not spine related. I know its the L5 C1 area. I don't wanna be stuck in bed for years again. I am afraid

You might try chiropractor who has a spinal decompression table. It takes time but it helped my son who doctor told he needed bk surgery. He told my son that an MRI with person laying down would not help to see compression on your bk. All I know is he helped my son get better. He works for our local university also in the sports medicine. Good luck
