@ambitioushope1234 Hi! Chronic pain can be very challenging sometimes. I've been struggling with back problems too. I recently found out that back pain is associated with depression too. The best thing to do is learn how to cope with it. Exercising is the best way for me but in combining exercise with psysical therapy would be the best I believe. Of course we are all here to support you thoroughout this and we're happy to have you here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Hey ambitioushope! I have chronic tendonitis on my wrist, although I think this is nowhere near your L4-5 back pain (I work in a clinic with people frequently have this kind of pain). I think it's really helpful to understand that a lot of people in this world are going through some sort of chronic pain too, although on the outside it might now show! Glad you found us :)
