Back pain takes real conscious effort to eliminate. You can do the right exercises but if you fall back into old habits of lifting and or remaining in the same position it will come back. it happened to me.

One of the most honest videos.... It's very difficult to precisely locate the cause of chronic low back pain and the method involves a lot of trial and error

What you have just described is me down to a T!! I’ve been there and done that including very expensive stem cell treatment to no avail I’ve been offered surgery several times over my 30 plus years of suffering with chronic back pain but as my pain is in different parts of my spine although mainly in my lumbar i have declined plus the expense is too great especially now I can’t work anymore because of my back problems but thank you for highlighting the fact that a scan of any kind doesn’t show everything, kind regards, Mick

when I was a young man the doctor told me to have two days off work and gave me pain killers, this went on for years. 20 or more. then one day it was so bad i fell down with pain. I saw a new Doctor, told him the history and he sent me to a specialist. within a week I was operated on had vertebrates all out of alinement, spinal cord stretched not broken in other words all broken three very bad and two not so bad, they gave me a back fusion with bone chips from my hip to help support with titanium rods. much better now. but have a continuing ache. I had a cow fall on me over 40 years ago hence the back. Now the worst thing of all for back pain is worrying your body tenses up in the lower back muscles worry make you hold those muscles tight all the time then you are in lots of pain. I am in my 80s now and still need pain relief. Just getting a bill in the post can be a worry. Or will I catch the train on time? you get the drift.

Yeah... that's my issue. On imaging everything looks quite good but i'm living now about 8 years with chronic back pain and nothing really helps. What's weird is that im 33 years old and all this started since i was like 24-25.

Been suffering lower back pain since my teenage years, it has never given me a break. I'm almost 40 years now. Lot of times I wonder what's going on there.

In February 2011, I sustained a back injury while lifting a heavy object without proper form. My back was bent rather than straight, and as I lifted, I felt a severe cramp-like sensation, causing me to collapse onto a nearby bed. Since then, I've been unable to fully rotate or bend laterally without encountering a knot or stiffness around the bottom of my thoracic spine.

While watching a video, I began to suspect that a disc might have been overstretched. Could you provide any advice on this? Would performing back stretches, such as the cat-cow stretch and arching my back, be beneficial, or should I consult a doctor first?

Thank you for your help.

I have lower back chronic pain because I presume that everybody in the Medical Industry is emphasizing that lower back pain is because of degenerative condition as we grow older, and not because of the hard enduring work that people experience in certain Jobs, thus work-related Insurance Companies ignore the patient and that is the reason I am in pain since 2012 and incapacitated because RMA in South Africa ignored my condition.

I’m going through it right now. Just had a mri last week. Think I’m going to start the gym.

When I use my reverse incline machine, I get relief from my lower back pain for about half the day. Does that relate to alignment of the spine?

I’m 18 and I’ve had back pain for 3-4 years

[NoEx-Tech]

Mine is getting worse, I'm a phone and computer engineer, i sit bend and work a lot with my right hand. The pain started from my shoulder joints, now my right lower back hurts alot due to muscle strain. I also feel some tingling discomfort in my right foot, I think its sciatica.
I increased my workout hours, use dumbells more often, but no difference 😢😢😢😢
