Sorry, you are in so much pain. There is a lot of good advice in this thread. A related story. I had lower back pain on my right side for almost 20 years. It was not as serious as to seek medical attention but there were days I felt it consistently while getting in and out of chairs or beds, sometimes acutely. A couple years ago I took up Functional Mobility training. During the functional movement screen they pointed out that I was favoring my right side more than the left because the right was stronger and that was likely causing the QL to pull and shorten the right leg and lead to lower back pain. A few trips to a massage therapist and corrective training to stregnthen the left leg made the problem go away for good. We have body imbalances and mobility deficiencies because manufacturing defects ;) Lifestyle and environmental factors like sitting at a desk hunched up or tensing up the muscles in the neck in response to stress makes these deficiences worse. Almost all of us also favor the upper traps too much for everything from breathing to lifting/carrying and use the lower core sparingly or not at all. FWIW, you should consider visiting a massage therapist/physio who specializes in functional mobility and works with trainers who can provide long term corrective training. I hope you feel better!
