Help my back is killing me

[laqualo]

Hey all . Im a new owner on a 19 Silverado RST 5.3 . I love the truck except for since i took delivery my back is killing me . I test drove it and no issues but the longer i sit in it the worse it is .The pain is not lower back but just a hair above . I had a 11 Denali sierra with no issues then a SRT Jeep that killed my back as well . I really thought switching back to a truck would be better . If anyone has recommendations it would be much appreciated .

See a chiropractor. Most likely it’s not the seat, it’s your body. May not be the answer you want, but it’s probably what needs to be checked out.

I have the RST z71 5.3 with 5.3 and do not have a problem. I have 4,000 miles on my truck and drove 8 hours 2 days in a row. I do take my wallet out of my pocket as my sciatic nerve in my butt cheek hurts from time to time for years. I find the lumbar is great. I agree with FlatDale above. Go see a chiro or get a good deep tissue massage.

well if thats the fix that would be much cheaper then getting out of the truck

My back never felt so good driving anything to be honest. I love the lower power lumbar support the Silverado has. 

I hope it gets better for ya hoss.

Wear a thin undershirt, if that doesn’t help, get your back waxed [emoji6]

Sometimes the seat position you think should be good isn't the one that makes the back feel  happy. Experiment a little.

 

If the truck is empty all the time, and you're running the pressures on the door sticker, try reducing them.  Especially the rears. 

 

If it's got 20's on it, find a set of 18's.  Higher sidewalls aren't as stiff as the short ones.

I have a bad back and go to the Chiropractor every other week. My back doesn’t feel any better or worse driving this truck. As others have suggested try changing the seating position and position of the steering wheel, you’ll hopefully find a spot where everything feels right.

Wallet out of rear pocket?

This.  Broke both ankles 11 years ago and now have arthritis in ankle joint.  Really bothered me when getting up for the first time, anytime I sat more than a couple hours, especially if there was AC.  Started using CBD cream in July, and i'm like a new man.  No more pain, except if I stand for a long time, and even that is nowhere near what it used to be.

Have to agree with this one. I've never owned a vehicle that is as comfortable to drive as this truck.

The K2's are excellent to sit in!  I would take more pills honestly!

All of the above comments have a common theme and that is the truck is not the issue.  Get a proper and thorough medical assessment.  Back pain is a very broad term and similar symptoms can have very different causes.  The medicine or treatment that works for a friend could be ineffective and inappropriate for you.

If you read OP’s original post, He said the hair on his back is being ripped off and not that he has actual back pain.
