I would have to examine you to determine a more accurate conclusion as to why you are experiencing pain. You mentioned you have hypermobility issues. Perhaps you have some core weakness which may contribute to core instability and postural dysfunction. Let me know what your PT has to say.

Hi all,

I wanted to ask about some lower back pain I've been experiencing.

Usually, it's when I've been standing around a bunch (or walking).

I don't have any issues if I get on my bike, go to the gym, have a full workout, etc.

It might just be a "things need to warm up" kind of thing, or possibly a postural thing.

The back pain itself is more of a discomfort/dull pain, and leaning over forward to stretch it out feels more intense than the back pain for a moment, but kind of relieving too once I stretch into it.. kind of like if you've been looking to one side for a long time, and you turn your head to the other side just to move it around.

Is this a sign of bad posture that I need to address, lest I create permanent damage to my spine over the next 10 years, maybe from naturally over-arching my lumbar?

p.s. I've scheduled an appointment with a PT, but wanted to get the hivemind's perspective too.

In general, I have some amount of hypermobility (most noticeable in my shoulders, which dislocate super-easily, if in a precarious position like attempting an overhead squat), and some knee pain... I wonder if that's all linked, or if this is separate... It'd be good to know if there's an overall thing that's exacerbating this, or if the back issue is isolated.

Make sure that your work out apparels and shoes are made up of high quality material which is able to comfort your body and feet. I am also a fitness lover and recently bought the sports bra and the leggings. Some websites have amazing stuff so I might add some more items to the wardrobe.]]> Thu, 11 Apr 2019 05:56:48 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=792&PID=2262&title=uppper-and-lower-back-pain-do-to-oversized-breasts#2262 <![CDATA[Low Back Injuries/Conditions : L4-5 herniated disc]]> http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=948&PID=2209&title=l45-herniated-disc#2209 Author: ricky85

You can do some simple back/spine exercise. The exercise helps you to relax your muscle and improve blood circulation and thus relieves pain.

Exercise is the most effective solutions to relieve back pain/sciatica pain. You can take physiotherapy for the rapid result. Also, you should use a good mattress that supports your back perfectly. Take advice from the doctor.

You may have disk bulge problem. MRI is better to find out the critical problem of your back/spine. At the initial step, you can do some back exercise.

To identify the accurate problem, you should do MRI. Injuries may occur back pain. Contact to the orthopedic doctor for better treatment.

You should contact any orthopedic doctor. He will give you the right solution. You can do an X-Ray or MRI for serious cases. If there is any fracture found, it needs surgery. Otherwise, doctor will suggest your physiotherapy, medicine, exercise and rest. Thank you.]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2018 03:20:36 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1115&PID=2153&title=low-back-pain-with-random-leg-pain#2153 <![CDATA[Low Back Injuries/Conditions : back pain]]> http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1527&PID=2152&title=back-pain#2152 Author: davidmiller

You should do some back exercise recommended by doctors. Find out the cause of back pain.You have to sit on good recliner chair and sleep on good mattress.

Our user asked: " I fell Wed. backward off a chair. was not drinking:) Landed very hard on my behind and it hurt instantly. I don't think I hit anything else. The backs of my thighs are bruised so I guess we'll throw those in. Went to nurse practitioner next day and she took xray of tailbone. Read it and said no fractures. Radiologist will read within the week as a precaution, I imagine. It is Sunday. The pain is getting better. I have little tingles of areas in my back letting me know that there has been trauma. Problem. I suffer anxiety and panic attacks. Have had huge ones. Can't relax and come to grips that I think I'm okay. Keep reliving accident and worried I am going to have a big spine problem. Am I nuts?"

Ask a PT Response: "You aren't nuts :) . Since you are getting better I would not be too concerned. The bruising is most likely the result of trauma to the region. I can relate to you and experienced a similar situation as yours as a result of sliding into home plate and landing on my tailbone. It took awhile but I was fine. Pain in the back, pain shooting into the legs, numbness/tingling of the leg(s), loss of control of bowel/bladder etc... are symptoms that would suggest a more severe injury. If your condition is not improving, I'd recommend you see your MD when possible. Best of luck to you."

Our user responded: "I was still having soreness 3 weeks after fall and I have ankylosing spondylitis so my rheumatologist ran a lumbar spine xray.  Below is the reading.  Sounds scary to me.
Lumbar spine radiographs
History: Previous fall with low back pain
Findings:
There is minimal anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 which appears to be on a degenerative basis. The remainder of the lumbar spine is normally aligned. The vertebral body heights are well-maintained. There is no significant disc space narrowing. Degenerative facet changes are present of the lower lumbar spine. The sacrum and sacroiliac joints are grossly intact. Calcific atherosclerotic changes are noted of the aorta.
Impression:
Degenerative changes as described.
How does this sound to you?"

Ask a PT Response: "I've had patients with a lot worse findings who have ankylosing spondylitis. The listhesis of the vertebrae are minimal and you have some degenerative changes. have you been in PT before in the past? Based on what you are telling me, it may be beneficial."

Our user responded: "Thanks for your opinion on this.  I have had PT in the past for a few problems I had with a sacroiliac torque, I think they called it and one time I had a hyperextended elbow and sprained neck.  PT worked for me.  I will have to find out how much I would have to pay for more PT due to some financial issues.  Again, your time is much appreciated."
