Back / Buttock Pain
Posted , 4 users are following.
Further to my earlier posts, the back / buttock pain is making me bend forward when I am walking I cannot straighten up
Any ideas what I can do, I may have to ask my physio to tape me up so I can be in the upright position

Speak with your physio, have you tried a brace? it's a difficult one because when my lower back became unstable about 6 months ago standing alone was unbearable let alone trying to straighten up, the back brace did help a lot but they don't like you to wear them for to long as it can weaken muscles but short term shouldn't be a problem.
I now have pain in my SI joints both sides and still have 7 weeks before my next lot of injections, the pain is moving round into my hip and upper thigh, it has been slowly getting worse over the last few days, this also has an effect on your posture, I hope you find something that works😊

Ye, mines called sensiplast...I think my husband paid £15 from Lidl, I also have a few from the pound shop, there like a large blue band that I bought by chance and actually they are really good, I normally have 2 on starting round my lower butt then the next one higher up and my sensiplast around my waist,this is when I'm really bad, it's trial and error and it took me a while to get the right support, the sensiplast has supports that fit into the lower back, at first it was to hard for me but now I couldn't be without it, you can get them from about £5, I wouldn't pay to much to begin with, hope this has helped😊

I believe your problem is ankylosing spondylitis. In this condition your vertebrae fuse causing a bent over effect. Google the disease and you'll be able to read all about it. I can't post a hyperlink to it on here or it'll get monitored out.

Thanks yes if you post weblinks your posts go to moderation and don't always get onto the site. I have had a look and will raise it with my physio tomorrow. Thanks
