Can anyone give some advice please. Much appreciated. This is for my workout partner.. I have been unable to really find a solution for his lower back problem. He has consulted with a relative who is a physio..
" Basically, when I do these exercises, I feel no discomfort at all. The discomfort begins to manifest within a few hours of a workout including these exercises and will persist for about 2-4 days and will disappear every time. It’s a cycle – I do the exercise, I get the pain shortly after (but not during), I suck it up for a few days and it goes away. Basically, I can describe the pain as existing in this location: **broken link removed**. It only manifests when I am changing something. For example, if I am sitting down, I feel no discomfort at all. But when I get up, the transition to standing up will cause sharp pain in that area. Once I am standing, the pain subsides quickly and disappears. Every time I bend over in some way the pain occurs. Another situation is when I try to lift my left leg up, say, to put on a shoe or to put my leg into a pair of pants. I normally have to sit down and roll back into a bed or something and put my shoe on to avoid pain. Should I not do this, I can deal with the pain, but it does hurt fairly badly. Getting into my car sometimes causes the pain as I am lifting my left leg in. Another situation is if I am lying on my back and attempt to do a situp off the floor to stand up or something, the pain will occur in that area. I usually have to roll to my side and get up that way to avoid the pain. "
