Spine pain (C and L area post injury)
I injured my lower back while deadlifting in January. After so many incorrect diagnoses I went for a L spine MRI myself which came as decreased lordosis and disc bulge (report is attached). Since May (after 3months of injury) I finally started proper physiotherapy. IFT IR CUPPING ACUPUNCTURE ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE LASER chiropractic adjustments they tried everything but it is not getting healed. The pain has reduced. Earlier it was in my entire back and buttocks now it is only in the bulged disc area and in my cervical discs. The pain increases when the area is pressed. Also I have recurring knots in my neck shoulder and right side of my upper back. I have lost mobility in lower back. Can't bend forward. Arching the spine hurts but drooping of the spine hurts too. The tailbone hurts so Can't sit properly even though I have a desk job. I don't know what to do. It is not getting better.
You need to be examined clinically, as there are multiple pain generators in back and neck. Such as Muscles and Facet Joints apart from disc bulges are the most common one.. and your history more over suggestive of discogenic pain along with muscle spasm.. kindly consult in person for precise clinical diagnosis. Only physiotherapy will not work, you may need medical/ Interventional management as well.
