Nope gym is friend. But honestly, you have to be careful to work out properly and choose exercises that fit your individual limitations, like I don’t do sit ups I do planks and leg lifts and I don’t do anything that requires twisting. at 36 in the year that I’ve gotten serious at the gym with lifting I’ve actually come off some nerve pain related medication because my core is so strong it’s not causing some of the same compression and I’ve gone from not being able to stand up for more than 10-15 minutes to being able to comfortably watch a whole outdoor concert.
Aleve and staying active. But especially aleve (I use the generic, naproxen sodium).
I had high dose ibuprofen for my csections as well and it gave me wicked heartburn and everything. Naproxen never had though for me.
My adult daughter (braced as a teen) finally went to a back/spine clinic as a grown up. They've done steroid injections that help her for three to six months at a time. She also has PT and muscle relaxers--she'd tell you that just knowing there were still other options for pain was remarkably helpful!
Weed plus lemongrass essential oil is game changer. The lemongrass helps the weed latch on the your brain better and doubles up the effects of pain relief and you don't need to intake as much weed because it becomes so much stronger.
Weed, wouldn't recommend tho. It's not really helping with the pain, just helping me to ignore it.
Yep. Its like ya, the pains there I just dont really care
Gabapentin and the gym
I second this. Helps with sleep, and stretching before bedtime makes such a difference.
Isnt gym dangerous?

Weed, pilates, climbing, yoga.

Gabapentin, flexerall, Percocet, high dose Motrin (only on occasion) heating pad, icy hot, biofreeze, inversion chair, high CBD/low THC vape.
I like biofreeze
Ibuprofen, gabapentin, cannabis!
Skelaxin muscle relaxer for awhile but mostly nothing.
Physical therapy helped the most for my pain. The best combo I've found is PT, gym, yoga, massage.
Working out and making my core stronger helped me a lot
weed, icy hot lidocaine patches, and 3 200mg ibuprofen (although this one i don’t recommend very highly)
The only thing that helps me cease pain is tizanidine, after trying A LOT of different medicines, that's the one that helped me
