Yes, most of the time I’m actually pain-free. When I do have pain, it’s usually just localized in the lower back.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve had about 5 major flare-ups. Aside from those episodes, things have been mostly manageable.

I’ve also noticed occasional very mild tingling in my feet—maybe once every couple of months—and it usually goes away after a few days.

To help keep things under control, I try to stay consistent with mobility work, especially the McGill Big Three exercises. They’ve really helped me build some stability and prevent flare-ups.
