Same problem with leefuller1. My sympathies. It is hard to sit without pain. Have tried physical therapy several times, the most recent one with laser treatments. Had also tried epidural injections, and an unsuccessful laminectomy. None of these helped, and the pain is gradually getting worse. I basically take Tylenol which takes the edge off the pain, but not completely. The pain has gone on for over 10 years. It really affects the quality of my life.
