I have had lower back problems for some years, but permanently since last June. I have had weekly Osteopath sessions since October but wiithout improvement. I am unable to sit, stand or lay in one position for more than around 30 minutes before my lower back seizes. More recently, if stood still for a short while, my legs can be unstable when I first walk. I am 48, female and otherwise very healthy and of a healthy weight. Thank you
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The symptoms you have described are likely to be related to a degenerative disc problem which is due to age related degenerative changes in the spine. Adequate rest, muscle relaxants and hot fomentation under the guidance of an orthopedic will help you. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
