Have you ever visited a chiropractor for that pain? I am doing the billing for one and he does some type of myofascial release. I will look it up and see what it is all about

Newhere,
I am glad you are keeping us posted. i also have problems when trying to stand up straight and walk. I always have my knees bent. I feel like i am leaning forward. I have a problem with where my lumbar lordosis is. From all my surgery or really from the last surgery on L2-L4 my lordosis has changed and caused this problem. I am seeing my spine surgeon on Monday and am going to request an x-ray to see where my curves are . He is sending me to physical therapy for this posture issue which i will start next week.
I hope you are feeling better.
judy mom

Yeah,i can definately corelate this pain with lordosis.because i dont have pain while lying or siting. Wery weak gluteus,thigt hamstrings,weak abs,result as lordosis. When we bent in knees,lumbar curvature normalise,because we normalise hip. I will soon start with theraphy for lordosis. I was on control before few days and my dr say that my disc is clean now,but still i am having pain while walking. I will try to do my best and hope you will also

Newhere,
I also have the same other problems you mentioned. I am starting physical therapy next week and will work hard on all of this to hopefully help a lot with posture and pain .
WE are in the same condition on this one.

Newhere - I have a central protrusion at L3/L4. Minimal to no low back pain. My chiief complaint is left leg sciatica to the top of my foot. I've had this for 1 1/2 years.

Starting to think about surgical options.

Newhere, I am sorry you are hurting. I am too unless i take pain meds. They only take care of about half of the pain. It is mostly in my lumbar area .
Get better

Update from me. Im 1month post surgery. It is slighty better but im still having problems while walking. I googled alot and my findings from few yars ago was that i have lordosis. Pain is minimum when sitting or lying,but somehow when i go straight to walk i have pain again. I think then the pressure goes on my bad l3,l4. This condition is also called anterior pelvic tilt. So im trying to put my pelvis in neutral position. When i walk and lower my knees,i get relief. I also have very very tight hamstrings,and found this can be problem. I will see it next week,with my doctor greetings to all of you!!!
