Is Swimming Advisable For A Person Suffering With L5 Sacrilisation?
Hello I m 26 years old female. I have been suffering from sacrilisation of L5/S1. Standing for more than 10 mins or walking a bit or sitting for long hours is painful so I most of the time I m wearing a support belt. Recently I have started swimming classes and the lower right side of the back I can feel stabbing sensation which in turn also hurts the hips. Is swimming bad for sacrilsation?

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
welcome to HCM,
Sorry to hear about your health condition. Based on your health condition , I would advise you to follow certain proper methods of doing day to day activities and ADL .
It is good that inspite of your health condition, you are trying to do swimming ,which reflects your confidence. But many things go wrong when patients try to things without a proper method.
I would suggest you to meet a PMR doctor who is the right person to guide you ,after detailed assessment of you , whether you are fit enough for your other activities.
