What is the solution to lower back pain?

[calfzilla]

Pretty much injury free after 15 years of lifting but the lower back is a constant problem.

I know getbig must have the cure, what are the secret stretches, exercises or sleeping styles to get rid of lower back pain?

It depends on the problem.  You may have one or more degenerated disks due to years of heavy lifting.  See a spine surgeon, not for surgery, but for proper testing and diagnosis.

Did Stop doing heavy deadlift made my pain go away. Bellyback with extra weight works fine for me. No preasure on the disc.

The lower back muscles are connected to the butthole and years of lifting can build up tension the solution is simple buy a thick vibrator at least 8 inches push it up your butt and turn it on for at least 15 mins each day, within two weeks your back pain will be gone.

The solution is a layoff from weight training and anything that irritates/hurts your lower back.  Do cardio for blood flow to aid healing.

Lower back pain is the exact reason I'm back trolling on here. 21 years of training and I wrecked my lower back last week picking up a fucking warm up dumbbell the wrong way. Working from home, bored outta my mind.

Don't know if there's any clever cures. I take a warm bath twice a day for an hour each time and medicate the other 22 hours.

Though mine was just a freak accident and it's already healing fast. I find the most obvious things worked best. Stay away from the gym, feed your body healthy stuff, plenty of water, stretching, a lot of rest but also make a point of moving around to keep the muscle working. Also kicked the girlfriend outta bed as I need the whole area to sleep in positions comfortable to me. Sleeping on my back with my arms next to my sides feels best. Think Dracula in a coffin.

Good luck with it, it's a nasty nasty injury to deal with. And I've trained through a cracked rib, buggered shoulder joint, broken thumb and numerous other gym injuries. This one took me out with blinding efficiency.

Some stretching...?

[Royalty]

Using an inversion board works too.

Rest and medication first...if it doesnt go away, might require small surgery

Actually just yesterday i bought a traditional japanese Shikibuton. It's just a thin pad on the floor but I will be sleeping on that at least for now and see if it helps.

Would like to try that. Also I lift heavy so maybe I will have to start lifting light for reps or stop lifting altogether. No more 60# db curls for a while.

This will kill your lower back.  You need a decent mattress with solid support.

There are several stretching exercises you can and should do before getting out of bed to relieve lower back pain.  I learned them about 20 years ago and never thought I would need them.  About three years ago I needed, them... started doing them and now have no more pain.  Look at your dog or cat: what is the first they do when they wake up?  They stretch.  You should do the same thing.

Haha beat me to it

[Irongrip400]

9mm aspirin straight to the brain. Seriously though, it's just something you'll have to live with now. Losing weight may help. I went from 242 to 228 and could feel a difference. I'm now back to 245 and I can feel it.

My back is fucked and there ain`t no cure other than seeing a doctor.
