lower back pain from exercise Posted: 07-03-07 11:57am
I've had recurring back pain for about a
year and a half now. I felt it for the
first time after being a tourist in
Mahattan that is, walking a whole lot for
a few days. The pain would be a sharp
pain on the lower right side of my back
when I put my foot on the ground but only
sometimes. The pain lessened then went
away then came back, but never as painful.
I now notice the pain when I am working
out a lot. The elliptical machine and
walking seem to increase the problem. One
thing is that the pain doesn't occur
during the excessive walking, it shows up
the next morning. Biking doesn't seem to
worsen the pain. Floor exercises such as
straight leg lifts and situps which raise
part of my body off the ground are also
too painful at times due to the pressure
on my lower back. I also notice the pain
when sitting sometimes, but only when the
pain is also quite severe when doing other
activities.
Anyone know what my problem is and what I
should do to correct it? Thanks in
advance for any help.
