Sometimes all you need is to get some movements back! Thanks for sharing!

Eileen,
I would recommend seeing a physiatrist regarding your pain. They will help with conservative treatments and likely recommend PT for you to assist with becoming more active while decreasing your pain. This will get you ready to have an enjoyable trip in September.

I have had lower back pain and a history of spinal stenosis. After 45 years of a nursing career the physical stresses took it’s toll. My ortho who recently retired. He had limited me to walking and stationary bike exercise. I walk my dog and do a lot of gardening.
Most recently, in January, February and March, we moved from a two story
house so I did a lot of moving and packing of cartons etc.
Now, I am experiencing tightness in my lower back, some sciatic nerve irritation on the right side. I try gentle stretching but still have low back pain.
The pain is more noticeable when driving more than 20 minutes. I plan on taking a trip in September and need to be able to walk and sit for extended
periods. I hesitate to go to a physician as they push drugs and I just want
to be free of pain and be more active. I have Medicare and supplemental insurance. I live in the far north Chicago suburbs.
