@equestrian.world.31: L4-L5 & L5-S1 Nerve Compression: Habits That May Worsen Pain L4-L5 and L5-S1 nerve compression can be aggravated by poor lifting techniques, prolonged sitting, excess weight, and ignoring early symptoms. Your spine needs movement, but recovery after surgery also requires patience and proper rehabilitation. Have you had surgery? How has your recovery been? If you’re experiencing shooting pain or pain in your lower back, leg, or foot, have you had an MRI—or are you still ignoring it? #L4L5 #L5S1 #NerveCompression #LowerBackPain #Sciatica
