So I’m having a lot of back pain due to multiple herniated discs that I’m just now trying to get worked on and I don’t know if bars are going to make much of a difference but as of now I’m ridding 8.7 inch bars standing at 5”10 inches tall. I was looking online and it recommends that I ride 10 inch bars for my height but I’m not too sure if it’s going to make that much of a difference on my back. I also don’t know what brand and what kind I would pick up if I were to size my bars up so any recommendations would be great !

Im the same height, i run a 21″ TT and 10″ bars with frond load stem. It did helped me a lot with packbain but it did made the bike a little bit harder to pull-up, i got used to it but going from top load stem to front load helped a lot.
I might have to look into some after market stems as well then with the bars. So far I’m thinking about getting the S&M perfect 10’s
Where were you looking that recommended 10″?
There are factors like spacers and stem height, bar position, head tube angle, riding style, etc…. to straight up recommend 10 is just nuts
