Having stiff back neck pain.Any home remedy suggestions?It’s too painful for me when I sleep and even when i sitting on computer?

Sitting is when there is the most pressure on the discs and spine. Get up every half hour and walk around. Use a lumbar pillow to suppport the lower back. This will help tremendously. Doing the cat stretch exercise before bed and when arising will loosen the spine and discs. At night the discs are like sponges, they increase their water content and it swells. Doing the stretch, pumps the disc and spinal fluid.

My physical therapist says my back pain is due in part to different leg sizes. She says I should correct by permanently wearing a gel rise in shoe of shorter leg. Does this make any sense (diagnosis and remedy?) I have been alternatively diagnosed with pelvic imbalance and sciatica

You do have a pelvic imbalance which is causing one leg to be shorter. Simply putting a lift in the shoe will just mask the problem. Your pelvis needs to be realigned by a Chiropractic Physician. Then stabilization exercises should begin to strengthen the area. If you have had past injury to that leg, or some type of bone disease, then a lift would be in order. Dr. Gary Gendron www.DrGendron.com.
