Hello everyone, figured I’d try to see what everyone’s experience has been like with this condition and if physical therapy has helped?
I’m 5’7, weigh 150 pounds and have been running for years. I also go to the gym and would consider myself healthy overall.
Two weeks ago I had this severe sudden pain that occurred on my mid / lower back after bending down to play with my doggo, went to the ER and orthopedic for MRI and was told I had this condition.
I was prescribed Diclofenac 75mg, advised to take twice a day. Pain has improved a lot with meds and I’m ITCHING to go out and run but my orthopedic suggested I wait until after physical therapy is finished.
Does physical therapy really help? Should I seek a second opinion with a different specialist?
