Any numbness?

The first thing to consider is overuse.

I would try to look for trigger points.

In the quads and hamstrings.

I find a 3-5 pound bag of epson salt in a hot bathtub calms it down - not a long term fix but provides short term relief - there is some research that says low magnesium levels contributes to it - I take a multi vitamin - also stretch out your psoas muscle - guaranteed its tight as fook - no tight belts on your waist - comfortable shoes w arch support - lastly most back pain comes from external stress in your life -

Overuse? What's a man to do? Stop surfing?

Trigger points? Cue Von Meister ridicule in 3,2,1...

No easy fixes. Whatever you choose to do it has to become a life style change, something you do consistently for the rest of your days.

If you have a lot of free time read this thread-

Can you paraphrase what the good Dr. has to say about structural damage to the l5/s1 vertebrae with the disk bulging out impinging on the nerve? Thanks in advance!
i Don’t remember
I read the book a loooooong time ago
i think he said that reading the book doesn’t cure all back pain and there are structural damage scenarios that fall into that category

while waiting at the doctors office to see if there’s structural damage causing sciatica, truth could read the book
i don’t know that it could make anything worse
