I was just diagnosed with mild arthritis on my L5-S1 vertebrae especially on the right side. While I dont feel joint pain, I often have tightness and soreness in my hamstrings and hip area. I am a very active 40 year old male and I have had to adjust my exercise quite bit but still get these symptoms. I found out today that my PT was not approved for further visits so I am wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and what they did to improve symptoms. I sit a lot for work and mostly get the soreness when I sit and not as much when active. Thanks for your help.View Thread
