Burning, tingling, and difficulty walking, sitting, or standing can be very challenging. Many people find it helpful to work closely with their doctor, avoid activities that worsen symptoms, and ask about physical therapy or pain management options. Hoping you find some relief and answers soon.

I'm so sorry to hear of your challenges. However, I can tell you that I suffer from the same thing in more..

I'll try to make this a sensible as possible:

You have to live to be happy. What do I mean by that? Find the things that make you happy to get out of bed.

I heard all day long and my ears ring loud. But, I go to bed with a game plan for the next day. And it's an A,B,C plan.

A: I love to ride my bicycle. It's hard because I'm very stiff and sore and it can start out bad. But it usually gets better as I move along. However, sometimes I just can't do it because the inflammation is too great

B: I'm going to go for a walk or hike instead because that'll be easier than riding the bike. Walking usually helps.
(It's very important to have a good attitude, be breathing properly and practicing good posture. Be sure you're wearing good shoes and you change them as they wear down. A worn down shoe. Can have you walking at an angle and create pain and aggravate issues)

C: I can't get out of the house because the pain's too great or maybe the weather is too bad. I am going to make it a spa day and I'm going to make some really good hot tea. I'm going to pull out the yoga mat and I'm going to work on light stretching and breathing exercises.

It's really difficult when you have to factor in family members or work. And the thing you have to remember is your health is the most important. Because nobody knows what you're going through and they probably can't help you. Even if they did. You will learn what helps and what hurts and you will keep aiming for the stuff that helps.

99.9% of the time I can lower the pain and have a somewhat productive day. The first thing is to get moving. The human body is built to move. And keeping it stationary. Sitting in chairs and lying in beds causes more debilitation and weekends the body. It is challenging to find what works for you but, you have to make somewhat of a game out of it. And as you try different things, my strong advice is to go slowly and lightly. You want to use very lightweights and very light resistance to learn proper form for any exercises.

I'm actually having a bad day because I'm angry about how severe things are and how difficult it is to try and keep up with anybody. Even my 88-year-old mother! But, I'm eating a healthy breakfast right now. I have plans to go for a walk and I'm going to make a good day out of this. 🙏

You can do it too. It is a lot of work and the job never stops. So you have to learn to love the job. The greatest gift is life itself and we have to respect that and make the best of it.

Good luck! ☘️

Thanku everyone for your replies....like you all i move as much as I can....just knowing other people are going through debilitating pain makes me humble and thanku from bottom of my heart

I have the same symptoms, just as Devanshi has said. Moving does help. It is worsened if I walk or stand too much, sitting is only helpful if I am seated in a recliner. See how you go with steroid injections as I’ve had this problem for 10 years and there is still inflammation around the L4-5 nerve root. Surely that should be better by now.

I went from four shots per annum of CT-guided steroid shots but in the end I had to wait 6-8 weeks for it to work and very often it didn’t feel any better. Take your time.
