[@jamiefreeman5451]

I lifted something heavy with a turning motion and the spasms started. You hit the nail on the head with my problem of lower back pain. Had a shot for inflammation the next day . Two days later pain is down to a 4 or a 5 and only occurs when standing up from a chair or getting out of bed. Your explanation of the muscles around the spine and over the top of the hips is spot on for my situation.

[@poolfield2]

That is so helpful, I am currently on my way from acute to chronic. I now understand that a week of sitting in a chair because the hot weather was too much for me followed by gardening when it cooled down is almost certainly what triggered this pain. I look forward to getting healed enough to start the strengthening but I’m definitely not there yet.

Recommending breaking phases into 1-2-3 is very helpful. Probably mitigates damaging the painful back area.

Also thanks for posting the 2 videos recommended at end of this very helpful video. -Dave (Ashland Virginia USA)

Hi Dave, You're absolutely welcome! Its really great to hear you found the video insightful. And yes. I agree that dividing the recovery process into phases which helps patients understand what the injured area needs at every point of the process is crucial to a timely recovery. Most people actually make their aches and pains worse because of wrong timing. Have you tried any of the recommended stretches already? Do let me know how you are progressing. Best wishes, Ashley.

How r u now

[@brittanymeeks6855]

I have been seeing a chiropractor for the last few weeks, trying to fix the acute pain in my back from improperly lifting my toddler, to no avail. I’m 33 and have had three children in the last three years, with a pretty significant Diastasis Recti (4 finger) gap to show for it. I’ve been thinking that the lack of strength in my abdominal wall (due to the gap) is likely causing weakness in my back (in the lower right area that you said is common), but I’m in so much pain I wasn’t sure where to start- I can’t strengthen right now- I can barely move in certain directions. I missed my chiropractor appointment this morning which gave me a moment of pause- maybe I need to try a different approach. Went to google and found your video. Incredibly helpful. When you said most pain is from weakness I immediately paused the video and went and told my husband. It all makes sense now. I look forward to checking out more of your information. Thank you so much for this video. I have hope I haven’t had in a while. I am too young to be so limited in motion and in so much pain!

I am in phase 3. I used to own and worked in a hair salon. I had intermittent back pain, some severe. I had a facial injury (trigeminal nerve damage) it caused terrible pain often keeping me in bed. I still had intermittent back pain. Years later the back pain became chronic even though i was exercising, swimming, and mowing the grass for a few years. Suddenly everything hurt my back and I sweat severely at the same tome. My feet began burning, hair falling out and more. I've learned more from your video then I have from going to Duke University Medical Center for years. Now I have a mission to go through your other videos! I am not one to give up but I have given up a couple years ago. I just have succumb to a life in bed for the most part. I tried to Garden and this year I am only doing perennials. I had to move out of my house into a condo but I will not get a flat I must have stairs because it is my only form of exercise. I had access to a pool and when I was in it it was absolutely magnificent but as I walked out it felt like somebody was piling bricks on my back. Even had dreams that I lived in a pool! I know it's crazy but yeah. Going to try to get my doctors to get me into the pool at Duke now that the covid- stuff is over. My father had a pool that I was using but he has since passed away as did my brother two days later. This was about three years ago. I believe the depression has made everything worse.

I have been dealing with back pain since I was 16. Just recently it turned into an extreme case. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks and unable to walk unassisted for 3 months. Since then I have random flare ups causing muscle spasms, weakness, and numbness in my legs. The doctors said they did not see anything on my MRI that would cause such extreme pain. I am 24 and consistently have to take time off of work because I suddenly collapse. None of this seems normal. I am a personal trainer who specializes in corrective exercise. I am very educated on strengthening the right muscle groups to support my lower back and practice what I preach yet here I am. Stretching will often cause random flare ups as well. My first indicator of my back getting ready to go out is typically tremors in my hands and arms. I’m sort of at a loss in my life regarding my back pain but this video explains the inflammation piece of it so beautifully. I’m going to continue to fight against the American medical system and get fixed in no time 👍🏻😎 thanks for sharing!

Thank you. I'll try daily stretching. I've had backpain since I was 10 years old, but the last year I've gotten worse pain (need to use my arms to get up from a sitting position, looking like my 97 years old grandma). I also got urination problems (feels like I have to go all the time, 30-40 times a day, but it's not uvi) and whenever I need to do number 2 pressing gives insane pain in my lower back, menstual pain, glutes pain and pain all the way down to my knees. I went to my doctor and he thought it might be neurological and gave me sarotex for the pain, but after 5 weeks I still got 70% of the pain. I also went to naprapath, he said my muscles in my whole back were tense and used cupping, massage and unlocked a locking I had between my shoulder blades. It didn't help my lower back pain. 😔 I'm 30, but feels like I'm 80.. Going to try the stretching and walk more. I'm a student so at least 8 hours of sitting daily. 🙈

Thanks mate, understand my pain more now. I’m 5 days into my back going into spasm again, I have suffered from chronic back pain for more years than I can remember , I’m only 36 too...🙄

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hey Matt, I hope this video helped you get started with your back pain recovery. You're right, 36 is too young to be suffering with back pain so you have to do something to fix it and prevent it coming back again! Best of luck! Ashley

[@cindithompson2187]

Excellent video. You nailed my back issue to a tee. I felt as though you completely described what I am feeling in my lower back. I plan on watching the acute video you listed at the end of this video because that is the stage I am in now. I hurt my back lifting some heavy boxes. I didn’t feel anything at the time, but the next day I could barely walk. My pain is in my very lower back and goes across from one side to the other. Any movement is painful. Standing up and bending over especially. Thank you so much for making this video and the others. You are helping so many people.

You're most welcome Cindi! I'm so happy you found the video helpful. Please do let me know how you progress with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.

Thank you so much. I suffered from intense sacroiliac joint pain for good 7 months. The first 3 months I could hardly stand or sit. Now in my 8 th month, the severe pain is calming down. Initially, had to just stop all exercises, and just manage the pain. Now I do very light stretches, which seem to help me. The SI belt too is great.

Really appreciate the content sir. I am a Fitness trainer and although I don't claim to be a professional in aiding back pain, I am very interested in in prioritizing my clients ability to exercise pain free during our sessions, or at least providing them with well prescribed guidance to do some research or work at home if they aren't open to hiring a physical therapist. This is exactly the kind of content I'd want them to see!

I'm 27 years old I notice 3 years ago I've started having bad lower back pain so bad that sometimes I just cant get out of bed bc it feels like it's going to break 😓😥. If I also do alot of bending or stand too long my Lowe back pain gets so bad I have to go lay down until the next day so I can walk again😭 no I haven't been to the dr.

[@dvirraham7410]

Workout on your core hips and I know glutes

[@dvirraham7410]

Also your lower back

[@GameChanger597]

You may actually have a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiencies can cause this kind of pain and in this area. If you're under continual stress, the problem will be chronic because the stress will tax your adrenals which causes low vitamin D as well. Start supplementing with vitamin D3 w/ K and see if it doesn't start to help you within a week or so. It sounds like you need a higher dose like 4000 iud. Many times pain and other ailments are actually caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

[@Migs3]

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! I find that my lower back pain is chronic due to the reasons you explained but also due to stress. When I'm stressed or in bad spirits the pain increases. Yoga helps and so does meditation. Unfortunately, I don't get to do it enough. The pandemic has kept us lethargic and that has not helped either. -Migs

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you so much @MIgs! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Very true, a lot of the cases I hear of are as a result of long periods of inactivity because of COVID. The simple solution is to find ways to improvise your exercise routines at home. Have you already seen my video on stretches for chronic back pain?

I am a regularly active person. I had gotten sick this past week and I was in bed most of the time. Yesterday I was felling well enough to get up and move around. This morning I woke up with intense pain in my lower back with no idea how. Thank you for explaining. No movement = pain. I am currently on ice and moving just enough to not hurt but hopefully enough to strengthen. Thank you again

Finally! A thorough explanation. It’s most likely my muscles. I have lower back pain in a very specific spot. I can go months with no pain. Right now, it hurts so bad that I cannot stand up straight. In 44 yo. Every movement hurts. Pain shoots down my left leg. My MRI cannot explain why my back hurts 10/10. No MRI explanation=No treatment. Thank US healthcare! Rubish!

This is the most accurate and helpful breakdown of lower back pain I have come across, with clear action steps to follow. Thank you so much. After 6 weeks of level of 3/4 pain and working daily on flexibility, it does bother me that my sleep is disrupted almost every night, is this cause for concern? Or normal part of the healing process?

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi John, you're welcome and thank you for your comment. It's difficult for me to answer your question as I cannot possibly know what's causing your pain and there are so many possible answers. Have you tried a different mattress (harder or softer)? Aside from stretching have you started doing any strengthening yet? I'd also suggest you get it checked out properly just to make sure there's nothing else going on. Let me know. Best wishes, Ashley

[@martinvarallyai5543]

Hi John. My lower back is not far completely unpainful but whenever I sleep on a very firm mattress or either the floor with minimum amount of softness generally I have a better sleep and less pain in my back. But after watching this helpful video I need to start stretching probably yoga.

[@overlandshower4312]

I just experienced a sort of twinge while reaching into a lower cupboard and was immediately in a good deal of pain. I can now say I’m in phase 1 of acute lower back pain and it seems to be within that “most common” region of the superficial muscle you pointed out. I will admit that weakness is also the general cause of my back pain issues. I’m hoping to understand the differences of pain so I can better my back and make it stronger

[@bmarchbanks7661]

What have you been doing for the pain?

[@keving9512]

ice and rest seems to do it, and then strengthening and stretching once its healed. 6 months after that comment I got another session of pain but it only lasted a few days instead of a couple weeks@@bmarchbanks7661

[@iambueno]

This is really useful, cheers. I've struggled to find an explanation for my repeated back pains, which often leave me bed bound for a week at a time. Articles online often mention weakness as the cause, however it really helps seeing you point to the exact points where I experience pain and then explaining why that particular area is affected.

[@wheels-voice-tv_567]

Thanks Doc for the very clear presentation. I used to have constant pain in the lower back since I was diagnosed with Spondylosis in 2004. The pain was constant during that year, then in the next 5 to 7 years, only occassional pain. However in the latter years up to the present, the pain is rare but when triggered by heavy activities or standing for a long period of time, the pain is there. Now I have an isolated Cervical spondylosis which is more disturbing than my lower back.

@@PrecisionWellbeing I think that the stomach muscles support & stabilises the spine by bracing tightly the core muscle which attach to the psoas & hips.💡But now my brain hurts lol Correct me please as I'd like to know for sure.

My back is good mow.Take care from se England.

[@rhymeswithteeth]

@@PrecisionWellbeing Strong stomach muscles provide good structural rigidity between the ribs and the front of the pelvis. This structural rigidity prevents the top of pelvis from tipping forward and causing a bowing of the lower spine. By having stronger stomach muscles, and therefor a straighter lower spine, there is less pain-inducing stress on the discs and the internal muscles of the lower spine. How'd I do, Doc?
