I'm hoping anyone out there with severe lower back pain can give me some ideas. The little work that I can do now requires standing. After a couple of minutes, my lower back hurts so bad I have to find an excuse to leave the client in the exam room so I can go lean over, hands on my knees, leaning against the wall to get the pressure off my lower back. It only gives me another few minutes. I've tried sitting while examaning patients, but I can't complete a proper exam sitting down.

Does anyone find that back braces help? Is there anything I can do so that I can make it through an entire exam? (The leaning over also triggers my migraines to worsen, so i feel half dead by the time I get home).

Any help would be much appreciated.
