I hurt my lower back about 3 years ago pitching for fastpitch softball. I have seen 3 different doctors and I endured physical therapy for about 2 years, had 2 epidural shots, and recently had radiofrequency done. The radiofrenquency helped for about a week but the pain came back. Nothing has worked and I don’t know if I should go to a different doctor (I am currently at a chronic pain relief center) or just let my doctor try everything and anything to get rid of my pain. I am 18 years old and hope that I will not have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I have no clue what to do.
I had PT for a total of about 2 years with a few breaks in between for a few weeks. It was at the same clinic but with three different therapists.

One PT thought I just had weakened back muscles. Another one said it was because I am hyperextensive. I did a lot of the same exercises with the first two PTs. The last one said it was because the muscles in my hips don’t ’shoot off’ in the correct order.
