strange back problem

Go see a doctor.

Where in your back?

I have the opposite problem...I have started Yoga for some relief and have been amazed at my recovery , I have a L3 nerve compression

Lose weight.

Are you overweight, becuase sometimes backs act up when there is a gut to support.

^^^THIS^^^^

Probably nothing. Could be something.

You will NEVER know by checking here.

MIddle to lower of my back. I am 170 pounds 6 ft tall I doubt I am overweight.

Don't pick things up(or lean forward)..advice from an Obamacare doctor.

It doesn't hurt if I bend my knees and lift with my knees, but some things aren't positioned for me to be able to do that.

This is a conspiracy site, don't you know the doctors are out to kill us??

A chiropractor would be a better choice. Or gt a massage or two to see if that resolves the problem.

Sounds like you strained an erector. Ice it for 2-3 days about 5 times a day for 10-15 mins. after that, lie on a tennis ball on the spot that hurt and roll around on it. That breaks up scarring.

Hmm, I've has this pain for years, Shouldn't it had healed on its own by now?

Only through association with the legal standards required for all practicing doctors.

But you need some x-rays dude.

Most likely then you have a nerve trapped in some scar tissue. Supposedly ART can free the nerve.

Active Release Therapy.

Some things don't heal on their own, but get worse with time.

My son is seeing a massage (deep tissue) woman who is fixing things from accidents years ago.

The work is amazing.

AC is telling you the right thing here.

Massage therapy is a great start. They'll know more than ANY doctor, when it comes to the muscular system.

Go see a chiropractor because the back being out could cause your pain. You probably will end up feeling like a new person, but since it has been out so long, it may take a few visits before it actually stays in where it belongs.

A good message therapist WILL make you better. Sadly, I live in a small town and there aren't any good ones around me.

OP do you have any groin pain as well?

Obviously isn't possible to diagnose with this little of information, but maybe it is one of your inter-vertebral discs. You say that leaning forward relieves the pain, and standing up causes pain. Just a prediction. Maybe you just pulled a muscle in your back haha.

Also, do you have any pain in your legs? If you do, then it is probably something to do with an inter-vertebral discs.

No.

No leg pain, it only tingles in my feet every now and then. Like once per week.

Leaning forward is what causes pain but I don't feel pain coming until I stand up straight, so it is a delayed reaction, but the cause is definately leaning forward because standing straight doesn't gradually increase pain, leaning forward does.

Alright gotcha. I also read that you have tingling in your feet maybe once a week. This could be related to something with your sciatica nerve. If you go to the doctor they're going to want to do an X-Ray and MRI I'm sure.

I'm a pre-med student and I shadowed quite a few doctors this summer. One of them was a guy who dealt with pain management and I have seen patients with similar stuff.

My suggestion would be to do simple leg stretching and maybe some light back exercises. Like bend over and touch your toes to stretch your hamstrings/back muscles. Hopefully this helps, if the pain gets worse see a doctor though.

A doctor cant help you with coughs and back/neck pain

They can't help us with a simple cough?

does it hurt when I do this
