NMP,

I believe my bad days are attributed to L2/3, the disc above my 3 level. From day 1, I couldn't sit for very long and still find it uncomfortable but after a little while in my zero gravity chair, all was well again. If you don't have one, a set of zero gravity pillows from Relax the Back store will convert your couch or bed into this respite.

Also, since your pain seems to be related to sitting, whatever is obviously irritated, most probably by swelling so you might try anti-inflammatories. It is the only med I have not been able to do without and perhaps will have to take for the rest of my life.

Good luck, Dale
