Keep getting lower back pain...

[marcia1]

Everytime i start a excercise routine.To warm up i jog on the spot for a few minutes and do a few stretches,but it still results in pain in my lower back when i do my crunches,squats etc,anybody know where i might be going wrong, any tips?

thanks

I suggest you stop until you find out what's amiss.

A knackered back in no joke.

[BigLepton]

Yeah, don't exercise then.

if you don't want to, then don't, but just learn to live with enjoy the pains

appologies - this was just a purile attempt at PH P&P humour to liven up an otherwise dull and drab wednesday afternoon. i concur with the masses - the sensible thing to do is see your GP

Doctor, Doctor, it hurts when I do this...

Well, don't do it then.



Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I touch my, head. It hurts when I touch my leg, or my knee, or my arm.

Is the pain in your spine or muscles, you may need to just strengthen your lower back muscles.

It's your body's way of saying: 'Stop exercising!'

Try a low impact warm up such as cycling. I go the gym 5 times a week and never get any back problems if I warm up on the bike or x-trainer. I played squash today and my back was aching within minutes.

In the muscles either side of my spine,well it's mainly the right side.

do loads of leg raises, sound like the muscles need toning but don't put too much stress on them (like stupidly heavy weights above your head) until you are stronger.

I have been a serial "smash myself up person" 1st broken bone at 4yrs, then lots of cycling and motor cycle racing accidents later, 25ish broken bones, punctured lungs, ruptured kidneys, and dislocations too, my joints/muscles were steadily getting worse and i had condemned myself to a world of discomfort due to being a reckless tw@t. Then... i went to see a chiropractor because the pains in my shoulder were getting unbearable, what a revelation. I do exercise at least 4 times a week, gym classes, squash and still a bit of Moto X if i can find time. Get yourself booked in you wont look back.

I stopped going to the gym a long time ago,because of my back pain,it's been on and off for a few years,flares up every time i try and excercise,even though i stopped going to the gym,i excercise at home now.
Cycling is no problem like to get on the bike whenever i can during the summer.

I think you need a new hobby, not a Chiro!

I have had to see an osteopath 2 or 3 times,they work wonders,but it flares back up.

Cheers will give them a go and see if they help.
