Lower Back Pain

theDC · 07-30-2009, 08:14 AM

I tweaked my lower back lifting a few weeks ago and came back too early. There is no serious injury but how long do you think I'll have to wait to come back to it?

I would say your doctor and your Physical Therapist (if your seeing one) would be the best judge of that.

don't go back lifting until its completely healed.

try a heating pad for 15 minutes.......several times a day

soak in a hot tub with epsom salts.

walk around and get your muscles loosened..don't lie down all day

if its really bad.....see your doctor.

And ...

Stretch daily within your comfort level.
Be aware of how you lift and twist from now on.
