Consultant in the oilfield. 14/14. Spend most of my days sitting at a desk. I get up every hour and walk around and get out on location from time to time. I stay pretty active at home with my family. It's chronic pain that I have dealt with for a very long time but the older I get, the more troublesome it becomes.

I was going to suggest Rockports and fresh changes of thick cotton socks until I realized that you're pretty sedentary at your job whereas I'm on my feet all day at work. It's interesting that you're concentrating your efforts on shoes in light of your work environment.

Have you tried some kind of activity that requires stretching like yoga, martial arts, etc?

There's a very good chance it's not muscular as you think, but a structural issue with a lumbar disc or discs. You should get a referral from your primary doc to see some type of orthopedic surgeon/back specialist who will do an MRI and see what's going on inside.
