I've had bouts of sciatica in the past since my late teens where is has flared up suddenly and been incredibly painful and difficult to walk for a week or two and then has gone away and I've been fine for a few months until the next bout.
But for the last four or so months I've had constant lower back pain, not as painful as sciatica during the day but it gets pretty painful at night when I'm lying down to the point that I can't turn over any more.
It used to go away an hour after waking up and starting moving but for the last couple of months it's stayed all day as well.
I'm getting to the point that I'm struggling to bend down or even walk normally.
I'm 27 and am slightly overweight so I thought it could be due to that so am starting to lose weight now to see if that helps.
Does anyone else suffer with this, are there any kind of exercises I can do to help it. I was thinking of going to a chiropractor before the lockdown started as I've never been to one before and wondered if that may help.
