Lower Back Pain

[matt77]

Well Ive had back issues for a while now and can say yours sounds like a disc injury. I have blown out L5-S1 with surgery to take out the herniation. The pain is still about as bad. I also have a bulge and tear in L4-L5 and authritis in my facet joints from the sacram to below my shoulder blades. Bro take care of your back! Mine happened at work but I am sure lifting has helped the process along.

Get an MRI done Xrays will not be able to show the damage. I had 3 sets of Xrays when I was injured that came back normal. Then had the MRI a week or so later and it was clear what was wrong. I could see it myself. If its bothering you doing certain things stop doing them until you figure out whats wrong. If you keep it messed up for to long while its pushing on a nerve or the nerve is pressed to hard it could cause life long pain.

Update
I have been just using machines for chest last 3 weeks and no ab training. My back feels 99 % better very little pain in the am! I still have 6 pack showing so hopefully i can maintain my abs with just good nutrition. I am gonna get back under that free weight bench in a couple of weeks and see how it goes.
