Hi Frank

Backs / spines are weird things, they are the carriers of nerves which sends messages from our bodies to our brain .. our central nervous system...

Is your pain in your lower back? You could have caused inflammation in the muscles surrounding the are, causing this pain, if not treated, the pain will remain. Are you taking anti-inflammatory pills to reduce this swelling ? Have you been and seen a doctor for it?

You mention that you did weight lifting before summer break, I'm not judging you in any way, but could you have over-did these weights, lift more than you should, straining whilst you lifted.

As you haven't lifted during the break has helped, however, you gotta keep up light exercise, to stop your back seizing up. It is hard to keep active when you are in so much pain, but keep the movement going.
Even if it is 'floor exercises'.

You need to strenghten the surrounding muscles also, to protect your back, before you take up weight lifting sports.

Please see a doctor, and get some medical help with this ...

You take care Frank, and please keep in touch with us.

Hi my names acctually Ryan and Franks is my last name but its all good. But yeah it started out with my whole back and for a little while my neck but my first visit to the chiropractor took care of that.

But no i havent taken any pills for my back i usually just went to the chiropractor expecting it to go away like always. And yeah ive seen the same chiropractor since i was little. I also went up to see my aunt this summer and she just became a doctor and she worked on my back in a different way then my chiropractor and it didnt help all that much but the last time i saw the chiropractor my back started to get better but after he got done popping my back into place it got back to hurting quite a bit. it doesnt make sense to me why it doesnt stay in place any more

in terms of the over doing weights i probably didnt cause im a very saftey concious person and i also dont remember ever doing anything that involved my back. i never did the squats mainly jus bench press and arm curls.

and yeah ive done a few scissor kicks to work on my abs and some push ups and pull ups. and i also did use bench press when my back started to get better but after the chiropractor i dont even want to try.

thanks a lot for replying

I'm having lower back pain... and seeing a chiropractor (but I think my chiropractor is making it worse, not sure)... She just tells me to do stretches and put an ice pack on my back... but if there are pills for inflamation I would love to try that for the pain? I'm gonna have to ask my family doctor about that. Thanks

yeah i had the same exact thing, you should get an xray of your back. thats what i did and found out that my lower back isnt as stable as it should be so now my chiropractor is doing things differently that are acctually working.

my pain is going down both of my upper thighs... its not really painful but its bugging me to pieces and sometimes its hard to sleep

maybe i need new x-rays, just don't know yet

Any radiating pain could be a sign of nerve damage. Back pain should always be diagnosed and treated by a specialist. Proper diagnostics should include an x-ray examination and an MRT if needed.
