Joint in lower back are unstable...
other bits of the spine start to get hypermobile ...
X-rays show no disc problems...


and you're SURE you don't have joint hypermobility syndrome? (That too never shows on X-rays, which confuses people who look at bones and say "you look fine".)

Well, I'm sure the rheumy will rule it out (or in) when you see him, anyway.

rest, stretch, core strengthening, remain active.
Sounds very sensible. But frustrating.

I'm sorry it made you cry. You must be at your wits end, and to not get anything that can really help must be so disappointing. :(

Big *hug* for Bridget.

(you could always start a "back" filter for when you want or need to talk about it. I'd be happy to be on there, although I'm not much use!)

I'll definitely suggest hypermobility to the rheumatologist, if they don't suggest it first. pity there''s no fix for it :-/ Thanks for being supportive, I do find it a help :-)
