My lower back has been killing me for a couple of weeks now. When it first got bad i took a week off of lifting and that really didnt help much. My back doesnt hurt when im doin the lifting but right after im done with a set it hurts just to stand or sit its not a sharp pain more of a tightness pain. so i have been doin alot of stretching and that only gives me temp relief. I started my cycle about two weeks before the pain started and put on a good 15lbs in that time do u guys think the extra weight is the reason for the pain? if not what tips do u guys have to try and help?

Re: Lower back pain
i had the same prob and it was due from GH and i was doing high ius/ not sure if u are taking gh or what not but if not, def ice and DO NOT HEAT IT.
u need to stretch your hams and quads as well.
start doing 4 sets of hyper extension with body weight for 15 reps nice and slow, twice a week.
only way to get your lower back stronger.

Stretching is a must that most people fail to do!

Re: Lower back pain
last thursday i pulled a lower back muscle playing racquetball. didn't realize it at the time but that night and the next three days i had a hard time getting around. The muscle swelled and was hitting a nerve when i pivoted certain ways. When the nerve was hit, my legs just gave out. Sucked! didn't go to the gym for 5 days. The only way this felt better was with a heating pad. Brought the pad to the office and used it all day.
Did you try a heat pad?

Re: Lower back pain
i get lower back pain when my hamstrings get tight. i started a stretching and it helped. also try lying on your stomach leave your hips on the ground and lift up like a pushup position. it will bend your lumbar back and hold it for 30 seconds and again a few times a day after stretching the hammies. it helps align the secrum with the lumbar area which helps the whole back
if there is sharp pain DO NOT CONTINUE
