 My back keeps getting thrown out where I'm basically paralyzed for a few days, seems like lower back/hams/,glutes problem  
 What makes it better? What makes it worse? Have you gotten imaging/ history of surgery or anything like that?

Most chiros I know are dumdums 
 Low squat and hold for a minute. Feet a little open. That should remove the tension a bit. Look up stretching excercises for soas muscles. When it feels hams up to back, it’s commonly soas needs stretching. A good physio or osteopath (if not in North America as they don’t have them there) can help with a good stretch. It’s extremely overlooked muscle. Definitely high chance if you sit at computer a lot 
 I T band rubbed out with a rolling pin is good for knees, hams, soas.  
 Can you elaborate? 
 Try lying supine with your hips and knees supported at 90° so they can relax without a stretch that may signal nerves to tighten more.  
 Probably weak SI joints
