My husband has been dealing with severe back pain for over a year now. His MRI and X-ray showed a gap between the L4 and L5 joints. Hes been doing regular exercises and swimming, but the pain gets really bad at times. Weve consulted doctors before but havent found a permanent solution. What can we do to address this?

Ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working or sitting or walking....Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water...Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight...Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down....Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement...take over the counter pain medications.. Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful.
