Dealing with Lower Back Pain
Aug 18, 2010 in
Back Pain
So apparently, I have arthritis in my lower back. A spinal disc (L5 disc) in my lower spine is deteriorating, so everything is super compressed. On top of that, I also have osteophytes, which means that the edges around the lower spinal bones are abnormally sharp. This equates to major nerve pinching, which cases a lot of pain and pain running up and down my legs. The doctor suggested I do 3 things: 1. Start swimming 2. Sleep on a hard surface 3. Stop lifting heavy weights We’ll see how everything goes :) Epic Links *** Jon’s Main Channel www.youtube.com Jon’s Twitter! www.twitter.com Jon’s Website www.techwaffle.net

Well I don’t really know what mine is, but my doctor says just to touch your toes 20 times a day for ten seconds each. This way it the bones get stretched and any bone out of place can wobble back

Yea when i was 15 i injured my back badly in a football game, i had two twisted vertebrates and a pinched nerve, we went to the chiropractor and he took x-rays and found out that i have a minor case of scoliosis so my spine wouldn’t heal correctly, on top of that i had a pinched nerve in my neck and a jammed spine. its been 4 years now ive been doing the stretches and everything but my back is still just as horribly painful as ever and it still keeps me from doing certain things, it sucks!

i would think what he meant by a hard mattress was not something as hard as the floor, cuz fo me tht worsens back pain… maybe just not a really fluffy mattress? idk. dont hav much experience wit this stuff haha

Look into spinal decompression. There is whats called an inversion chair, you hook your ankles to it and you can hang upside down for like 10 min. It really helps to take the stress off your lower back and helps to decompress your spine which alleviates the pain your feeling. Also work on your core muscles, which Im sure are a in a lot better shape than most of ours. After my car accident I am a firm believer in chiropractic care, so check that out too.

I have really bad lower back pain too and swimming definitely helped. I also tried yoga too and I felt better after that, dunno if it’d be as effective with you since it’s not a muscle issue and more of a spinal problem. =\
Sorry to hear about your lower back pain, it sucks butt. Majorly.

I also have back pains, upper part mostly and also the neck. I had a sikness when I was about 18 which was not observed by my parents which resulted in massive injuries in several disks, mainly in the upper part. I know how painfull it is and I hope that you get better ;)

yeah i have some issue like that i have osteoarthritis .my cartilage between the knee and pretty much on all joints are teared which make my bones grind on each other . It did cause pain but i didn’t get much because i’m 14 and i have a pretty good immune system . But i did took cod liver oil tablets from Seven Seas it did stop the most tiniest bit of pain i recommend it for u cause it is also good for good health. Also try Swimming it helps.

Do hyper-extensions and flying superman, they help :) it strengthens your back.
Instead of lifting weights, do pull ups and push ups… they do fine too :)

Hi jon, have you tried taking cod liver oil capsules. This should help alleviate the pain in the long run! I have been taking it for over a year now and it has helped alot!

good posture may help. flex your lower abs and flex your ass. no joke try each one out and you’ll see your pelvis move slightly forward.

SCANDALOUS! Haha. That made me laugh.
