You're welcome. Its probably not what you wanted to hear, but it will keep you out of the OR. And the OR won't help, just pay attention to everyone here who has gone under the knife. They might speak well about it in the beginning, but pay attention to the posts a year and more in. Surgery is not a good option yet. Now for my own PT session...ugh, here I go because it works even though I'd rather just relax today. No rest for the wearyl๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ’ช

Stretch daily and do abdominal and core strengthening exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your low back. Physical therapy is best. Pool PT, if available, is ideal. Sitting all day is the worst thing. The more excess weight in the midsection, the worse it will get.๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ™

I'm sorry to hear that your lower back pain has worsened. Here are some points to consider based on the context provided:

1. Ibuprofen:
- Dosage: Ensure you are taking it according to your doctor's directions or the medication package. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
- Forms: Available in tablet, capsule, and liquid gel forms.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, dizziness, rash, nausea, stomach upset, and more. Serious side effects can include bleeding and gastrointestinal issues.

2. Alternative Pain Management:
- NSAIDs: If ibuprofen isn't effective or suitable, other NSAIDs like naproxen (Aleve) might be considered.
- Muscle Relaxants: These can help relieve muscle spasms that may be contributing to your pain.
- Injections: Corticosteroid injections can reduce inflammation and manage pain but are not a long-term solution due to potential risks like osteoporosis.

3. Consult Your Doctor:
- It's crucial to discuss your worsening pain with your healthcare provider. They can adjust your treatment plan, explore other medications, or suggest additional therapies.

4. Non-Medication Options:
- Physical Therapy: Exercises like yoga or Pilates can strengthen muscles around the inflamed area, providing stability and long-term pain relief.
- Supplements: Glucosamine, omega-3, and curcumin may help with pain and inflammation, but always consult your doctor before starting any new supplements.

Please reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss these options and find the best approach for managing your pain.
