I’m 27 and have bad pain in my low back. I believe that it is due to gym. I cannot stand straight and it even hurts when I am laying. My doc thinks my pain is not a big deal!!! He told me not to take meds but to stay off the gym and go swimming, to strengthen my back muscles.
Well it’s probably not rheumatic or arthritic pain. He told you what the best was for you, but he should have explained that better. If you don’t believe him, ask for second opinion. Weren’t you glad that he thought it was not a big deal? What would you like better?
