20 years old, can’t workout due to back pain. EddieESQ
Hi all, I come from a history of sports in high school so I know exactly what it’s like to run 7 miles before wrestling practice. I know what it’s like to workout and break a sweat. And it seems that’s all I want to do lately, but due to low back pain I can’t even get more than 5 minutes of AMRAP in. Not really sure what to do, most of my back pain comes from flexing my abs, even if I’m not particularly working out. If I’m standing for to long at work my back starts to hurt. I have an aching sensation in the muscles left and right of my low spine. They seem to engage whenever I use my abs for core workouts, and start to hurt almost immediately after beginning the exercise.
I’ve stopped using weights and have gone strictly cardio to see if that would help. My back starts to hurt as soon as I run, or do any ab workouts (besides one machine at my gym that’s giving me hope, which I’m returning to the gym for shortly).
I’m trying to join the military and these problems are pretty concerning. I’m looking to just get back how I used to be when I could ease through a mid season wrestling practice with no pain.
The pain started effecting my workouts when I was 17. I didn’t think much of it and thought it would go away but it’s just got worse.
In the past few weeks I’ve been working hard at standing up straight and avoiding sitting on hard surfaces, and it’s eased a little, but no where near the point where I can run for more than a quarter mile at a time.
For some reason I have a hunch that it’s an easy fix, I know I’ve gone through rough contact sports and made it out fine, so it’s probably just some adjusting, right? I mean what could I have done in such a short period of time to wreck a perfectly healthy body?
Any ideas guys? I know this seems like a question to ask my doc, but I wanted to see if I could figure it out with some help before making out to be something it’s not. Thanks guys,
-Eddie
