Lower back pain, please help
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've suffered from back pain for roughly 5 years now. It started off just being that I couldn't stand up for too long but now it's on a day to day basis. I work in an office so I'm sat at my desk for 7 hours a day. It's an achey stabbing pain all around my lower back, I thought it was to do with my posture but my work have done as much as they can to support it. Chair, desk setup, special keyboards etc to also help pain in my arms and neck. I see a physiotherapist for my arms and she's come to the conclusion it's my nerves that cause pain in my neck and arm. She also said I need to be referred by docs for my back pain to have sessions with physio for back. Went doctors and she felt my back, all seems fine, been given cocodamol and more back exercises. Nothing seems to be working and it's such a pain being in pain every signal day, sitting at my desk most of the day being so uncomfortable that I want to cry. And the not so reassuring thing is that I'm only 18 and really don't want to have to put up with this! Please help.

I had severe back pain for years and it was horrible. Mine started when I was 18 too!
I got rid of the pain through doing 3 things:
1) Moving a bit more than normal - getting up every half hour or so and stretching
2) Doing some kind of physical activity like swimming
3) The biggest thing which helped was a method called Egoscue. See if you have a local practitioner nearby.
Good luck and don't give up!
