    I would wait til you start PT and stick to the exercises they suggest for you. You don't want to irritate it any worse than it already is.

    Is this the area known as the "Siatica" I hurt my back like that several years ago, I did not get treated, however, I used Bio freeze, stopped all exercise, used heat and Ice, massage chair, sometime I can feel the pain come on again, however, I do not over do it.
