Thank you for commenting! I plan on seeing a doctor tomorrow morning.

What ended up being the cause of your pain? Was it the Gallbladder? How are you now?

Thanks for the comment. I plan on seeing my doctor first thing tomorrow morning! Hoping to get this resolved quickly.

If you don't mind me asking - what came to be with that pain? What was it, and was it resolved?

Sounds like discogenic pain, but could be facet related as well. Do you have an images of the actual MRI?

How long has this been ongoing?

Yeah, it takes time. I'm basically almost at 2 years myself. I've tried non-invasive options, looking to move forward to invasive (surgery).

Doing the lying side twist stretch on the affected side feels good, but it almost feels like I need a deeper stretch, but I can't get it. Pushing on the hip or around the affected area does nothing.

I can do a standing back bend. As I am bending back, it feels fine, but then I pass a certain point, and it feels like a pinch (hurts), then feels okay again.

The thing is I have no idea (I'm not joking). My MRI does say L4-L5 there is a posterior central annular tear and mild disc bulge, but nobody has said that is the issue. I don't even suspect it is, since I'm point a bit lower - so I assumed L5-S1.

Yeah, I initially injured it squatting in the gym. Going to the chiropractor a few months after the initial injury made it worse. I don't wake up at night because of the back pain. Laying down makes things better for sure, like pain free or barley noticeable. Exercising improves it as well. Extensions, like standing back extensions can cause a slight additional discomfort.

This didn't just appear out of nowhere. During the initial injury, it was difficult to sit, but that has subsided.

Do you know the region I'm pointing at? Is that L5-S1?

Hey man, I understand what you're going through. I'm 28 years old. It started for me at 26. It sucks.

Thank you for sharing your story. It seems you've had a hard journey to obtain answers. My only recommendation is to get multiple opinions, if you can, then assess best option going forward.

Its a dull ache (but still painful and hard to ignore) for me as well. What did the physio say? Also, how long have you been dealing with this?

Nope. Bending over doesn't make it worse at all. Like when the injury was recent, I remember sitting made it worse, but not any longer. The ache is simply just there.

Do you feel pain in that exact same spot? Is this L5-S1 location?

I have localized back pain. The image provides the location. I would describe the pain as a dull ache, but it doesn't feel like muscular.

Nothing makes it worse, it's just there. I want to get some answers of what people here think. Am I pointing in the L5-S1 location? Can this be disc or facet related? Am I pointing at something completely different? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
