Question

I've been having lower back pain when standing, walking, or bending. My doctor recommended wearing a back belt and avoiding bending, but said surgery might be needed if it continues. Does this sound like the right approach or are there other options I should consider? The pain's been persistent and I'm worried about it getting worse.

I've been having some pain in my thigh muscles whenever I cough, and it's been going on for two months now. It also hurts when I turn in my sleep or stand up after sitting.
