@invisiblepain2 Hello, My pain isn't technically 24/7, as when I lay on my back, within 10 to 15 minutes the muscles seem to relax and the pain goes away. If I don't lay down though, the pain is there all of the time, from when I get out of bed in the morning, until I go back to bed that evening. I have not had any issues with bowel movements, and yes, I tried TENS, both at a chiropractor's office and at home. Neither of these made any difference, the muscles always lock, and the pain is always there when I'm sitting or standing.
