  • low back pain feel better when you are walking?

  • Have you had more than one episode of low back pain over the past few months or years?

  • Do you feel worse during or immediately after prolonged bending or stooping; as in making beds, vacuuming, gardening, concreting, etc?

  • Do you feel worse when sitting for prolonged periods or on rising from the sitting position, ie: after watching TV or working on the computer?

  • Do you associate your pain with any one particular activity but are generally pain free when not engaged in this activity?

  • Do you feel worse when inactive and better when on the move?

  • Does your low back feel better when lying face down? (You may feel worse for a minute before the pain subsides, in that case the answer to this question is yes).

  • Does your low back pain feel better when you are walking?
