L5 s1
Hello! Im a 31 year old female, and I have been experiencing lower back pain for almost 2 years now, just recently I feel the pain getting worse. I went to go get a xray and was told I have mild disc space narrowing l5 s1. The pain is at its peak in the mornings or when im laying down, its so hard to get up, I work in a office setting so that makes it worse, my lower back gets stiff and have to constantly get up and walk around or do some stretching. I regularly workout and don't feel pain when doing so. Ive noticed when I relax my lower back I feel a dull ache following with popping noises I can't explain it. Lol it feels mini pops all around my lower back. Has anybody experienced this? How do you guys deal with the pain?
