A member asked:
What can cause intense pain (7) at l5-s1 to decrease in intensity when standing in high heels( the higher the better).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relief w/ back arch: Perhaps your problem is at the anterior aspect of your vertebral bodies, such as a disc bulge anteriorly. When you are in heels, it causes your low back to arch back more. That would cause distraction of the vertebral bodies at the anterior aspect relieving pressure on the anterior disc (but of course, putting more pressure on the disc posteriorly).
