I have severe arthropathy in my lumbar and arthritis in my sit bones which caused pain in low back with pain down the legs. Steroid injections and RF ablations didn’t help. My conditions are chronic so you have to find what works for you. I eat healthy and drink lots water and move. Nothing bouncing just do my activities of daily living and walk. My pain Dr and Ortho Dr ordered high does of prescription anti I inflammatories and nerve pain pills. I only take Celebrex 100 mg and Gabapentin 100 mg every morning along with R lipoid acid and a multi Vitamin that has B6 in it of course. B6 itself is good for your nerves. At lunch I take Fish oil( Omega three), tumeric, osteo biflex and sea Buckthorn oil. I will also drink Ginger peach tea. I eat lots of fruits and veggies and lean meat, sprouted grain bread which comes frozen and if I eat rice it’s a small portion. Limit sugar and white bread like in pastries to only. occasional. What had helped me the most is my ice packs and my heating pads. When I drive I sit in a heating pad plugged into my cigarette lighter which I don’t smoke and put it on medium heat. If I have done a lot of standing I will use an ice pack. On low back and I may sit on it too. Just 20 minutes at a time. This keeps it under control. I still suffer each day but without being drugged to death! All meds have side effects. I tried a larger of gabapentin and tried Lyrica but it made me so sedated and constipated. I also make home made yogurt which helps inflammation. I agree with the physical therapist about the intermittent clarification even though your may be mild and mixed with arthritis. It’s a B getting old. I also know after being an RN for a long time that modern medicine who is to a large percentage ruled by big pharma want to treat with medicine to mask your symptoms not treat the cause. Pray for God to give you wisdom to seal out a Dr that will listen to you just be careful with filling your body with medicine that have major side effects.
