Any hints or tips from the medically educated/employed out there as well as folks who have/are suffering from this??
Its driving me nuts so any help is appreciated  |
You need eval with ortho. Probably aggressive physical therapy.
I use some natural stuff and got off the drugs to help the spasm.
Ice your lower back at the end of a hard day.
The stuff I use is at
