I've already posted...that being said I don't think this forum is good for medical advice especially when it comes to these kinds of issues. Everyone's experience is different so only a medical professional should be consulted. When I had my back problems I went to the chiropractor frequently, tried physical therapy but it made things worse, I also walked and did water-walking and exercised. After many years of trying everything "holistic" I 'had' to go to the neurosurgeon! He sent me to a pain specialist who did two shots about two months apart. Then things got worse where I found that the disc had ruptured. I couldn't walk by myself, go to the bathroom etc. so had a disc-sectomy which relieved the pain. I must say that for now it's so much better than before. Go to a doctor and get his opinion!!!
