Hello Dr. Corenman.
Over the last few weeks, my lower back would just stiffen up after a very short time of sitting. And now I rarely experience pain in one side of my lower back area. (which used to be my right side)
Also when I sit down for a long period of time, my whole lower back (specifically in the middle back) stiffens up, I asked a spine specialist about it and he said I needed to do a couple of exercises, and I’ve been doing them for a week but no improvement.
He also said that I seemed to be having muscle problems not associated with Disc or facet syndrome (I was diagnosed with 2 discs almost 3 years ago and this specialist was the one who read my MRI X-rays).
Dr. Corenman, I have also been experiencing tremendous pain in my neck. I get very little sleep because of it along with my back pain. If I sleep on a particular side, the pain starts in it (my neck) and I have tried many pillows but no point.
One last thing, my lower back also hurts and sometimes stiffens up when I’m in bed in an appropriate posture.. what is going on with my spine?
Thank you so much!
God bless you!
