i have a lower back issue from a fall at 8. i had no problems that i was aware of.. the gym teacher used to say with those long legs you should be running faster.. i ran as fast as i could!!. i had very bad menses heavy, sick etc.. but then i had children. i had no labor pain. boom. i damaged the nerves in my lower spine in that fall.. damage done. i today have weakness in my legs such as going up and down stairs. walking is good. exercise doesnt help.. the nerves are not working. hoping med beds can fix that.. in instances such as this have to consider outside the box problems. since you have pain your nerves are still working just totally over stimulated, chiro can fix it... dont as a medical doc about that. they dont want you to know they fix a lot of stuff.. my sone has done miracles as a chiropractor.. now to find a good one... theres good and bad.. good luck. keep in touch
