    What exercises does she have you doing? I had deep muscle massages for weeks-no help. Exercises for two months. Someone said it could be nerve impingement?

    No. The severe pain for about a minute or more when I first get up from sitting or laying is a 7-8. The pain then subsides to a 2-3 until I sit and get up again.
