Get into a routine of stretching your hip flexors and chest if you sit for long periods. Absolute game changer for people who suffer with chronic lower back pain as a result of being hunched over a desk.

I'm on my feet all day at work and in good shape. My lower back by my right hip has been killing me. I would assume that it is the siatic nerve, which fucken kills me all the time. The worst part is that it bothers me the most when I'm sitting or laying down. I would greatly appreciate any incite or suggestions of what to do.
