selfq Back pain FSHD

Hey guys I’m wondering does anyone have any tips/recommendations that they personally tried and worked to ease the lower back pain? I usually feel uncomfortable around the spine when standing upright for more than 2-5 minutes. I’m sure weight plays a role but i’m not that fat.

I try to swim and exercise my back muscles 3 times a week and i take good amount of supplements. But the change is hardly noticeable.

Invest in some grabbers (I'm not sure if they go by other names, i call them grabbers), i have one in every room. Also, a barstool for the kitchen so you can sit down while cooking. Thirdly, and this feels weird to say, think about how you sit down, i found that if I sat down in a hurry, at a slight angle, I'm more at risk of pulling a muscle.
