Right Side, Strange Back Ache/tightness And Sore/tight Hip Posted: 05-20-04 06:07am
Hello,
i am 27 years of age and started weight
lifting on a regular basis 6 years ago.
It is something I really enjoy considering
I have a desk job and do not get much
exercise during the day. About january
of this year I noticed a right localized
tightness in my right hip (near my hip
bone) when performing dumbbell rows with
my left side. I didn't think anything of
it at the time and continued to lift
weights on the same schedule that I have
done for the last 6 years (2 on, 1 off).
The only time I felt the tightness was
when I was performing that specific
exercise, no other time. To tell you the
truth it didn’t even hurt.
About this same time, I was starting
notice lower right back tightness when I
would wake in the morning but again,
didn't think anything of it. Well, one
saturday morning while lifting, my back
got really tight on the right side. I
couldn't finish my workout and by the end
of the day I felt pretty much normal.
From that day on, lifting in the morning
has not been an option. The tightness in
my back would flare and put me down for
the day. If I lifted later in the day,
no problem. About early to mid feb the
tightness was getting worse and my hips
felt like they were "out of wack." I went
to the chiropractor a couple of times and
it seemed to help and I also went to the
Dr. The Dr. Prescribed a mild muscle
relaxer and naproxen for the tightness and
aching. I thought that this might work
due to an injury about 2 years ago. Let
me explain. Two years ago my lower right
back was so tight I could barely roll over
to get out of bed. The Dr. Gave me a
muscle relaxer and it was fixed in a
couple of hours. I couldn't believe it.
I thought the same would happen now.
Don’t know if it is related to my current
situation, but thought I would include it.
Well, it hasn't. In the past 3 months
the symptoms in my hip and back have
gotten worse. I am very tight in my back
and the tightness in my hip I can feel all
the time. I have been on more muscle
relaxers and stronger anti-inflammatory
and have also been going to the pt for the
past 4 weeks. I have also been going to
the chiropractor for the past week. I
pretty much can't lift any more due to how
I feel the next morning. When I lift I
feel pretty good. I can’t do anything
physical in the morning without setting
something off. The hip thing is really
starting to bother me mentally. When I
explain my "problem" they look at me like
i'm crazy. Even the pt. I think she is
getting frustrated (like me) because
nothing seems to be helping.
I cannot pin point one moment in time
where I know I injured myself around the
time when this all started. It has just
progressed into a chronic problem and is
starting to affect my life. I am not
sure if the chiropractor or the pt is
helping. I would say that it is not
hurting me. I have one more day of pt
before I go back to the Dr. And ask “what
next?” I have no idea what he is going to
say. I am following the pt’s
instructions for the exercises and the
stretching and can tell that I am more
flexible and the muscles I am working are
stronger. Has anyone had these types of
symptoms? Is it fixed? Is so, how?
Anything is very appreciated. I look
forward to your feedback.
Thanks is advance,
nathan

Lower Back Pain 4 Months Posted: 10-22-05 20:10pm
I have been having pain on my right lower
back also, it goes to the left somedays.
I have had it with all this research, they
say disk bulges dont cause pain and they
say they do. You should pt, chiro, blah
blah.. I think im im getting depressed
about it all.
Im starting to believe about being
stressed out causing the pain, it would be
the only thing to make sense. Injuring
yourself 4 months ago and not being healed
is insane, you can break your feamer bone
(the biggest bone in your body) and it
will heal with less pain in 6 weeks. But
a back strain , bulged disk pain can last
5 months??

Yes, you are right - backpain is the
worst. I have been living with back
pain for most of my adult life which is
now over twenty years.
I would like to share what I found (on the
internet) to help me get over the worst of
the pain and even to live for days without
the pain.
i take 2 every day and when my back hurts
really bad I take more.
Having been a skipatroller for many years,
I tell you, without the sport, I would not
be able to walk and get around on mondays.
I take the the capsules before working
out or going on the hill an afterwards.
Great stuff.
it is allegedly highly energized, but may
that as it be, it works for me. Since I
have used this product (togehter with the
sport), by backache is much less severe
and I am able to do things again, that I
had to pass on for many a year.
Thought i'd share. Hope you will feel
some relief soon
