Please see my entry of Aug 13, 2018, and my entry of my back brace on Sept 15, 2018. I have found, and most articles state that Camptocormia has shown to be non responsive to pharmacology, thus no luck with medication. I have never encountered anyone confirming relief/success with physical therapy/exercise, although exercise can certainly help prevent muscle atrophy in the other areas of our body. I personally can rule out injections, having had both epidural and facet block, multiple times, with absolutely no moderation or changes. The only help/assistance that I found and use and recommend are a quality walker like the Drive Nitro Euro Style Rollator (can find by Googling “walker”) it has larger wheels for grass, gravel and uneven surfaces. I can easily load and unload it in the back of my car. I don’t use it around the house or going to and from the car less than about 50 yards. Additionally I STRONGLY recommend at least exploring the back brace that I pictured in my September 15 entry. I only use the brace for things involving my walking about a mile or a little more (like walking our new Havanese pup). Lastly, anyone with a bent back type syndrome should DEFINITELY search Google for Camptocormia, read and make a copy to always show any medical professional you visit. I can guarantee you that fully 95-98% will have never heard or read anything about it. Hope this helps.
