Yes its possible. As soon as I found out about this sub and commented a bit my pain began to go away. I now am mostly pain free on most days, which is insane as before it was unbearable for months.

I have a feeling losing weight will my situation as well. Glad yours is improving 🙂

Im in the same boat. I can either constantly suffer or get 100% relief while jogging and a few hours after but have worse returning pain for a few days unless I keep up the exercise or risk being bed ridden

Yea. The only time I feel zero pain is when I go out for a jog and for a few hours after that but the returning pain is worse. Im torn between constant suffering or getting to experience a bit of normalcy with the side effect of worse pain the day after.

Idk. Everyone I know that had surgery for it says to avoid surgery as well.

I hope you get this sorted out. I dont have much to offer as far as solutions but I just went through something similar during this past fall semester. Couldnt sit without being in unbearable pain and standing most of the time offered some relief but not much. Pushed through it though. Went from 2 years of straight As to a 2.2 for the semester.
