I was looking for any other members who have had back issues and what they tried to alleviate the pain.
About a year and half ago, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc in my L5/S1. It happened after playing basketball and the next day, I couldn't stand straight or walk. I have been getting injections for the past year and that gives relief for about 1-3 months.
I've bought inversion tables, tried yoga, stretching, and nothing seems to work. It's not the type of pain that will drop you to your knees, it's just bothersome enough to interfere with your normal life. I'm only 37, but my profession (police officer) I'm sure doesn't help.
Any techniques, methods, or any advice would be greatly appreciated.
