I cannot walk/stand more than 10 minutes and cannot sit even a second. MRI only shows DDD at L4-L5.

I don't really put much faith in MRI's as my hip one a few years ago showed a good right hip. My surgeon went in and discovered severe arthritis in the joint and the next step was a total joint replacement.
