Back Pain
-
So it started a week ago. Pain in the lower back, above the hip, to the right of the spine. Quite sharp, and can feel it in my entire pelvic region. Has anyone dealt with a pinch nerve before? If so, how long did the pain last? I know this place is full of medical experts ;) I'm just seeing if anyone's dealt with it before. It's either a herniated disc or a pinched nerve judging from what I've read. I'm going to the gym to stretch it out during lunch.

I hurt my back couple of weeks ago, while doing some back exercise in the gym. I still went to the gym next day, thinking it will get ok, but the pain increased. So I decided not to think about the Gym till the pain is gone. It took me nearly 2 weeks to recover completely. Just took normal painkillers and a back pain relief cream.

I don't know about back pain experts but there definitely are a lot of pain in the necks here. :) I'm sure someone will call quack but chiropractors are the best for fixing issues like this. Especially if you can find one that practices in NUCCA instead of the pop and crack type.

My mate suffered from these exact symptoms a week ago. I would ask him what he did about it but he's dead now.
Coffee... screen... Brilliant response. :thumbsup:

You should go see a doctor: just because you think it is back pain it may not be.

I will not go so far as to call them quacks, as I know people who claim to have benefited from them. I personally, will stay away, as I have an even bigger underlying condition: =[^] which I have been warned that most chiro's view as endless $$$$$$. I might find a place to get a massage just for the temporary pain relief.

Me too! About Tuesday. I increased the weight on a few exercises and tried to increase the weight on the leg press, but couldn't do it, so backed off (I'm also doing single-leg leg presses, since the machine has a low weight limit, and that strange position probably didn't help). A couple reps into a leg press a bit later and I felt a twinge in my lower right back. Feels a bit like somebody jabbed me there. I can only really feel it when I take a deep breath, or twist/bend in certain directions. I figure I'll give it another week or so before I bother a doctor with it, but I'm going to stick to cardio until it resolves.

That's really not good that it happened during a press. Oddly, mine started on a Monday out of the blue, before my gym time, and I hadn't worked out since the previous Friday. The fact that you felt it happen, :shudder:, I'd be worried about a hernia there. Mine hurt the breathe, sit, or lean forward at all for the first 3 days. I laid on my back any moment I wasn't at work.

Can't remember if your are married or not? ;P But seriously, you should have a doctor do the analysis. I'd be mindful that stretching is usually only of help if the injury is muscular in nature. It's unlikely that a herniated disc or inflamed nerve fall into that category. :)

Not yet (will probably get secretly married in December for the tax and insurance benefit, before our ceremony/reception in March). Stretching feels good, even if not for direct relief of the underlying cause, the rest of my back / hip region is tight from lack of movement.

This was the source of the first part of my back injury. It was a bulging disc in my case because of degenerative disc disease. All it really is is the muscle irritating the nerve. The causes can vary. You need to get the muscle to relax in order to get it to go away. I actually recommend going to the doctor for this, which isn't really normal of me :D They should either give you a shot in the back, muscle relaxers, or both. They'll offer a quick fix. Whatever you do, don't just hope it will go away. I got nerve damage that way. If you don't go to the doctor then alternate heat and ice 20 minutes each, letting the skin recover temperature between. Stay off your feet until it gets better, and if possible soak in epsom salt. Before bed, apply muscle rub since you can't heat/ice while sleeping.

Sounds pretty similar to mine, though mine isn't intense at all. Still, wouldn't want to make a minor issue into a big one by exacerbating it. Thanks for the tip... I'll research it a bit more when I get home and talk to a doctor if it seems appropriate.

I developed something very similar when I started my new job. The desk was set very low so I swapped it for an adjustable one and got a riser for the laptop. I don't normally get any back trouble so I knew something was up, changing to a higher desk has sorted it out.

Sounds like your sciatic nerve is pinched. Go to a chiropractor.

I was giving myself a week to heal. I know it can be kidney related. It was getting better about every 2 days, but it's just lingering at the same level since Friday.
I repeat: go see a doctor, don't be a hero. Ok, I know I didn't say the last bit before but I am now. Might be kidney stones. I'm not a doctor, I have no real idea. Given that you say you're a comedian it could just as likely be a torn funny bone.

Hemiparesis - "most related to the brain or spinal cord". Chiropractors focus on the spinal cord. Just saying. Something to think about.

As opposed to doctors? :)
