So now Im confused. Any help would be awesome cuz my lower back is KILLING me to the point where it hurts to sit down. Thanks in advance.

I have problems with my sacroiliac joint (lower back/hip/butt area on belt line). I've got a little ice pack that that I use when it flares up. Just be careful: My wife once was given a little promotional ice pack that looks like a triangle of swiss cheese. A couple of years ago, I helped my buddy build his garage, and two days later I couldn't get out of bed. I used that triangle ice pack constantly for a day or two, and I sort of "burned" myself with it. I now have a permanent red triangle on my rump.
