Sitting: Your pain is typical of someone who has degenerated disks. There are many treatment options. Start with physical therapy and nsaids... There are many new treatments for your pain. Lumbar fusion surgery would be the final step if nothing else helps. Se your healthcare professional to see what options are available for you and good luck.
