Good morning
I know I need a workouts !
My lower back mostly on left hip hurts bad
And doing the plank with knee up or anything plank makes it hurt
The roll ups and anything side raises causes a lot of stress on that area

I could use some suggestions on what to do instead
My abs are weak and I’m hoping if I can strengthen them my back issue will fade away

I’m self diagnosing here … but the symptoms point to tendonopothy

I had injections in my right hip for similar pain
However they are super expensive and I am unable to do them anymore !

Thank you for any advice and alternative workouts you can suggest

What about if you started with Dead bugs and bird dogs. Those are pretty easy on the body but super effective.
