This pain usually only happens when I take a shower. I think it's triggered by lifting my arm to adjust the showerhead. It also sometimes re-occurs after I take a shower. Has anyone heard of lower back pain that occurs when lifting your arm?
Also, I did injure my back years ago in a car accident. It sometimes hurts all over after physical activity. I believe this has gotten better after physical therapy and chiro visits recently. Should I avoid a job that would require me to do physically demanding work just because of back pain? I am trying to get a job as a zookeeper.

thanks.

I would definitely tread with caution in a job that is physically demanding. You should probably consult a doctor to clear you for a job like that. You don't want to further injure yourself.

The physical therapist thought I could do it but recommended weight training. What kind of doctor would need to clear me?

Your regular doctor should be able to tell you if you would cause harm yourself. If you have seen a specialist for your concerns they would be best.
