Yes, I do. My hip is now higher on one side too because of it. It's very annoying as it makes my back weaker and more prone to injury.

Yes it does. A spine specialist missed this but a chiropractor showed me the x-ray of it. Exercise did nothing to help it. I have much pain in the torso lower back and spine also, plus these lumps some moveable some fixed. I hate fibromyalgia.

I do 20 minutes a day of back exercises that the physio gave me. I periodically injure it, this time, probably bc of lockdown and me not being able to go to the gym, I hurt it for 10 months. I ended up paying for a very expensive physio instead of the NHS one bc the stuff they've told me to do before never made any difference. He said I had a lack of mobility in my lower spine so the exercises I previously had been given wouldn't work. Im back in the gym now and I am stronger now and more stable, but I have extremely hypermobile ankles, which I've broken twice, and extremely stiff leg muscles bc of fibro so im still quite wonky!
