lower back pain

[chucklenut]

I tell you what helped me best was aquatic therapy, it removes all pressure from your lower back.

if i didnt have to work 8-5 Monday through friday i would focus on getting better in the next week. i went to jeju spa and swam a few laps and used their hot tub for a good minute. that felt amazing, but the next morning its back

someone told me back pain is like herpes, even if you dont notice it for a while it always comes back

Mine started last Jan...


back and forth to the Dr's and finally in Nov, they told me I have a ruptured disc. It ****in blows dude. Sounds like Distinctive knows all about this....


Tell me about your surgeries, Distinctive. I am most likely looking at one soon....

I have my first epidural injection scheduled for Jan 19th. It cant come fast enough. Im tired of pain pills.

ive heard alot of success from epidurals. damn that sucks for you though, i really hope the injection is enough. surgery is the last thing you wanna do obviously.

but i have heard some surgeries do wonders.

good luck with yours pal

Sometimes you have to re-learn how you do everything, even the way you get out of bed in the morning.

Get an MRI. A screwed up disc or 2 can present in any number of ways. Everyone is different so what pisses my back off my not bother yours . As for pain in your legs it all depends on which disc it is, how it's herniated and to what degree.
Avoid surgery at all costs.

Thanks man...I sure hope it heals itself. But its been a year now...I dont see it repairing itself now.


I was doing deadlifts when it happened....no more weights for me.

i just wish i didnt have to get an mri cause they cost so ****ing much. but since this has been a constant for a month or so im figuring to bite the bullet before it gets worse

i think mine started when i was helping a friend move a washer machine in early november. it went away on its own and didnt even hurt until two weeks after that

Something else I learned was you are most likely to injure your back within the first 3 hours of your day. Something to do with fluid buildup while you sleep.

i should probably resume the morning stretches then even if i feel like its not helping

Go take a yoga, or flow class at a local gym. Stretching slowly and routinely is the key. Yep its gonna hurt, suck it up buttercup it's for your own good.
