Weird lower back issue

[alwaysgrowing]

Sometimes when I lean over, I get a weird feeling of pain in my lower back. Almost a shooting pain. It subsides the moment I move. If i make the same movement again, no pain. It doens't happen often, maybe once a week at most. I have had no specific trauma to it. Anyone have any clue before I head to a doctor?

have a similar thing that is a facet joint issue, only way to know for sure is MRI but your nowhere near needing that, go see a chirpo or phisio and get deep tissue massage and lots of stretching

Thanks. I was actually thinking of heading to a physical therpist or kinesiologist to see if I had any issues with my posture that need fixing. So i'll ask them about this as well

Wouldn't advise what we talked about anytime soon....Hope it gets better...

Strange thing is, it never bothers me when working out. It happens when I bend over to grab a book, pick up a cup, etc. It lasts for less than a second then is gone

if only i was that flexible

It sounds to me like a simple muscle spasm. Your muscle not ready to be used and it locks up for a moment to guard itself.

try taking some flexirol if it gets really badly - just be warned you have some funky dreams on that shit , but its not a narcotic and it really does do the job - i know a shit ton of power lifters that use it , no real attraction to use it for any recreational purpose because it just does its job.

My friend's father is a chiro, so I decided to give him a call. I went in, and he did showed me that my hips were misaligned. YOu could actually see it. He asked if I had fallen at all recently, which I have. Two cracks, I can see my hips straighter and actually feel looser. I think that may have been my problem. Still heading to the doc's to be sure though

If you can find a good chiro, go. I wasn't sure if the effects yesterday were psychosomatic. For the first time in a month, I woke up this morning without being tight. Jogging this morning felt great.
