Q: Lower Back Pain

I am a 24 year old male. I used to be very active, ie soccer. But after college I don't have time for things like that anymore. However, I just recently, ie yesterday :p started excercising and lifting weights again. Yesterday I noticed a very sharp pain in my lower back. The very bottom of my back, in my waist area.

I don't really want to see a doctor about this. I worked out today and didn't experience the same pain. Yesterday I was doing a lot of lifting with my back, bending knees and everything, just like you suppose too Laughing

that is when I could barely stand up after it started hurting.

Aby suggestions? I keep trying to bend my lower back in a way that will pop it. I have a feeling I shouldn't be doing that, but it seems like it would help. However, I haven't been able to do that yet, being it is my lower back, it is hard to find any position to bend that area.

Thanks,

tw

Lower Back Pain

You're right you shouldn't be trying to pop your back. Trust me it won't help. I unfortunately have experince in this area. I had lumbar surgery a year ago after I herniated 3 discs just by getting into my car. Try using heat 20 minutes on about 3 times a day and also use motrin ultimately you should see a spin specialist not necessarily for surgery. Trust me that should be your last resort! But a good specialist will help you and point you in the right direction for relief. Also, don't do alot of bending try stooping for awhile until this calms down.

Books on "combat conditioning" contain an exercise called 'bridging' this will cure your back pain for good. I am deadly serious. It worked for me.
