My back hurts

It is the same thing as Sciatica- a pinched nerve. (just in German I believe) I have some helpful hints to getting up, you are not using proper body mechanics dear and could do more harm then good. When sitting Try and put a few books under your feet so your feet are flat and you are even, You can put a pillow on the seat, behind your back too and under your knees. when possible elevate your feet so that you dont get swollen. If you have one - get a tennisball and freeze it and put it on that sciatic nerve right where it hurts on your butt. Instead of leaning forward, scoot your butt to the end of the chair and use your legs to push up having people pull you up is going to hurt them too. The spinal damage, well often requires surgery, but there is a lot that can be said from doing physical therapy and activity. If you can, go to a Physical therapist ask for POOL THERAPY, but if you are not up to that, try and go to a POOL with a friend and use one of those fun noodles or a kick board and put it under your arms and just FLOAT! KEEP MOOOVING, you dont have to do an hour workout, swimming can help too. or walking in water just above the waist - in a heated pool. Last resort is surgery and that will help ease that pain in your buttocks. I have had 22 yrs of back problems and chronic pain, I have had 3 back surgeries, and then recently surgery 6 times for a spinal stimulator. In all the years before the stimulators, I had numerous epidural pain blocks and years of pool and physical therapy. and Medication for pain I am 45 and I feel like I finally got my life back with the stimulators, all starting from a back injury at work. Now i just like to try and help others and encourage them to do what I didnt know about! Msg me if you like and I would be happy to help and answer more questions. God Bless and good luck!

This isnt necessary a pinched nerv or doesnt even have to do with the injury it can also be stress related...the nerv get inflamed and puts pressure to the spine and that causes pain, which is exactly what you described. In some more severe cases it can lead to pinched nerv. It of course can also be from an injury or slipped disk or many other reasons. I have been to a doctor and dont have any spinal damage but I should rest when this happens, it happens once or twice a year usually when it gets a bit colder and as I dont like the cold I think my back reacts to that lol I heard that once you get this its never over it keeps repeating its not like you can cure it. I hope thats not true. Well I dont want to be old either hehehe, so i just dont take that aging thing seriously Im sure its a mistake Im_tiggs gave quite some good advices of how to help our spine from taking all the pressure. Thank you Im_tiggs! I think we have to stretch and try not to sit for too long and just let our spine to take a rest, meditating or just lying would help to get rid of a stress and that might also help. I hope it wont be to painful and that it will go away soon ;)

At I home I actually do use a pillow hehe, but I cant at my work, it would look funny. So I just stand up often and walk a bit and then back to work.

hahahahaha that one's great! Well not a husband but very moon affected boyfriend, so since its a full mooon I know where my pain is coming from lol Gotta tell him that

Yes i have it checked and they say its not pinched nerve. The pain is mostly in my left buttocks and sometimes I also feel it down my legs. Then i usually try to massage my leg and it releases the pain. I feel no pain in my back and is still very flexible with no pain at all, its just my left buttock that really hurt. I do believe its an inflated nerve but i dont know what is the reason that this happens in a first place. if it would be an injury I could understand it now I dont. Thanks for the good thoughts!

Ouch that hurts! Yes it is never the same, everyone says that it heals reelly long time. This summer (june) I fell on the stairs directly on my tailbone...gosh that hurt, I didnt break it but it hurt for months, still does if i sit for too long :/
