<s>[INST] Hello I m 26 years old female. I have been suffering from sacrilisation of L5/S1. Standing for more than 10 mins or walking a bit or sitting for long hours is painful so I most of the time I m wearing a support belt. Recently I have started swimming classes and the lower right side of the back I can feel stabbing sensation which in turn also hurts the hips. Is swimming bad for sacrilsation?

Based on your health condition , I would advise you to follow certain proper methods of doing day to day activities and ADL .It is good that inspite of your health condition, you are trying to do swimming ,which reflects your confidence.
