Lumbar pain ONLY while SITTING!!!!! ...Spinal Decompression with DRX9000?

Question

My MRI shows mild L5-S1 left and L4-L5 midline disc protrusion. I've been in pain for more than 8 months now. I've seen several orthopedic and spine specialists but with no help. All of them recommended Physical Therapy, which I tried for 4-5 months at couple of different places. It helped in increasing my range of motion but didnt help with pain. Chiropractors also didnt help.

My exact pain description is: I can walk and run with NO PAIN. I feel the pain when I'm sitting up on a chair or couch. In 10 minutes of sitting I start to feel an ache at the base of my spine (L5-S1 disc level) with a pain level of 6/10 scale. If I avoid sitting I'm just fine. I also feel the pain when I'm standing at a point (no pain while walking).

My last resort is Spinal Decompression. Its expensive but I can afford it provided it gives good results.

I'm looking for response from the person who had a similar experience with lumbar pain which gets worse ONLY while sitting (walking and running gives NO PAIN) and has tried Spinal Decompression with DRX9000.

PLEASE REPLY ONLY IFF YOU HAVE TRIED SPINAL DECOMPRESSION TREATMENT. Thanks.
