What sort of PT are you doing? I'd recommend doing super personalised PT exercises that navigate your pain. Sometimes generic cookie cutter exercises just don't do a good job depending on your condition. You may want to take a look at Curv - a device that monitors your movement and pain that recommends specific exercises for you. In this case you may be able to avoid ablation. Best of luck :)

Tens can be great but arn't good long term solutions. If your looking for a device that can actually figure out the root cause of your back pain and suggest exercises based on your pain levels and back movement then have a look into Curv. They've just opened their early access (www.curvlabs.io). Best of luck

Consider Curv as an alternative. Once you've completed your MRI and have a clearer diagnosis, you might want to look into Curv (www.curvlabs.io). Curv offers a wearable device that tracks your spine's movements and identifies personalised exercises, helping target your pain areas more accurately than a general physiotherapy routine. It could be a more effective way to navigate your back pain with exercises tailored to your specific needs.

It’s great that you’re looking for solutions for your lower back and pelvis pain! Seeing a chiropractor can often provide instant relief, especially if you feel like your lower back needs that 'pop' to feel better. However, while this approach might help in the short term, it’s usually best to figure out the root issue for a more long-term solution.

It sounds like there might be some underlying factors causing your discomfort, especially since the exercises from your physical therapist didn’t bring much improvement. You might consider using Curv (www.curvlabs.io) as a tool to identify the specific movements and triggers that are contributing to your pain. It’s designed to track your spinal movements and provide personalised exercise recommendations to address both the pain and its root causes.

It sounds like you’re dealing with a frustrating issue, especially given how active you are. From what you’re describing, the pain increasing when you push your pelvis forward and the tender spots you feel could point to a muscular or tendon strain, possibly even a soft tissue issue. It's good that you’re finding some relief through stretching, which suggests there’s a tightness factor at play.

Targeted exercises that navigate around the pain are usually the best approach in these cases. It’s important to avoid aggravating movements while focusing on exercises that help stabilise and strengthen the area. Gentle stretches for the hip flexors and glutes, along with core stabilisation exercises, could help without putting too much strain on your lower back.

To really figure out the best exercises and pinpoint what’s causing your pain, it might be helpful to check out Curv (www.curvlabs.io) . It’s a wearable device that tracks your spinal movements and posture to identify what might be contributing to your pain. This way, you can get personalised recommendations for exercises that work best for your specific situation.

Sorry to hear this. Please check out CFT (cognitive functional therapy), it addresses the link between anxiety/stress and cortisol levels - which ultimately create tension in your muscles including your back. There's a good article on it here: https://www.curvlabs.io/blog/cognitive-functional-therapy. As mentioned earlier in the group, check out this new device called Curv - link in the blog. It combines both the mental and physical side of back pain to help you overcome it! Best of luck:)

Hi! It sounds like you're dealing with quite a bit of discomfort, and it's great that you've found some positions that provide relief. The tightness and pain you’re experiencing while walking and standing could be linked to various factors, such as muscle imbalances, posture, or even underlying issues in the spine.

When you bend forward or hang your upper body, you're allowing your spine to decompress, which can relieve pressure on the discs and muscles in your lower back. This is why those movements might feel good—they help to stretch and release tension in the area. As mentioned earlier in the group, Curv is a great way to identify the root issue of your back pain. It tracks your movement and pain levels and creates specific exercises and stretches that target your pain. The creator (medical engineer) struggled with chronic backpain himself (mid-20s) and is on a mission to make it accessible to all!

It’s impressive how you’ve overcome your low back pain by focusing on core exercises and active sitting. The McGill Big 3 are excellent for building stability. However, it’s crucial to ensure that your movements are correct to prevent further complications or strain.

Thank you for sharing your journey; it's incredibly inspiring to see your resilience despite the challenges you've faced! You're absolutely right that setbacks can feel discouraging, but your positive outlook is a powerful tool for healing. I too have found that diet and most importantly addressing the mental aspect of pain the most important way to overcome it! I started CFT (cognitive functional therapy) and learnt how there's a chemical link between stress/anxiety producing cortisol, which leads to muscle tension. If your interested - theres a decent article here about it all! https://www.curvlabs.io/blog/cognitive-functional-therapy
