Also, are you fit? Loosing weight can work wonders for back pain that is worse with gravity.

Since my back problems started I have gained almost 40lbs. I know that getting fit is something that would help but when all I can do is lay around its tough to go back to exercising and trying to play hockey to lose weight.
and no I can not stand up for that long. When I was bed ridden for 3 weeks. A walk from bed to the toilet when pretty much brought me to tears. The pain from my knee to my ankle on the outside of the leg is seriously unbearable. Now I can stand up and make it but the pain is getting worse. It's not only when im standing. The pain is also worse when sitting.
