Low Back Pain HELP

[Tatyana]

I have had a couple dings and dents but nothing major (knee surgeries, had both my collar-bones broke etc. I play hooker and have been blessed with good genes I guess.

I never played American Football, I was an All American Wrestler in college though. Rugby is by far a tougher sport than football but wrestling beats rugby hands down.
I guess I am in the minority on this web-blog as I am not a body-builder...just a gifted athlete who is happy with the way I look.

Me too, just about 6" too short

BBing is the perfect 'sport' for short-asses

Not all BBers have body perception dysmorphia, although there are times I wonder.

It sounds as if you live in the UK. It is very difficult to find a sports specific doctor without being passed around the city. I have played rugby for 10 years (professionally) and I have never experienced something like this. Maybe I will talk to our team doctor about it.

Thank you for your input, I just needed to hear that from someone ( go to a doctor for chrissakes!)

Cheers,

my man!!!
love to see ruggers on the board!!

I spent 2 seasons with Newcastle (got there about the same time as Mr. Wilkinson, needless to say when you play the same position as him, you will be out of a job soon)

I used to have the worse back spasms. I had to have one of the team physios work on my 3 times a week. The only way I was finally "cured" was I took a full year off from playing but would still see the doc 2 to 3 times a week.

I have not played a serious game in 4 years, but still catch a few bad episodes of the spasms every now and again.

Other than the back, I have a crooked nose, and like Tatyana said, I feel lucky thats all thats wrong with me!!!

Thank you for the reply. The only question that I would have is "when to ice and when to use heat" If there is swelling in the area (which there is) wouldn't you want to ice as much as possible. I always thought that you would want heat when you are trying to stretch out the affected area

As for stretching, I know that is probably one of the reasons why that my lower back is astight as a virgins honey-pot. I am going to add "active stretching to my routine once I start working out again so this doesnt happen again.
Again, thank you for your input

p.s. how do you take a yoga class without being the laughing stock of the entire gym. I mean no disrespect but it seems like 99.9% of yoga classes are these little pliable women......

Firstly, yes it is odd doing yoga ... and youll look/feel like a gorilla in a room with people giving you funny looks. But for me, even going 3 times a month does wonders for tough spots like my back, rotator cuffs etc. Anymore and I seem to lose all my strength and explosiveness.

That said, icing an injury is good in 2 ways.
#1- While icing theres an antiinflammatory and numbing effect

#2- immediatley after icing local vasodialtion occurs and they frozen area is flooded with oxygenated blood, thus having a positive influence on tissue repair and the removal of cellular waste products.

TBH icing, then having a hot shower, a light stretch, then going to bed is probably the ideal protocol.

Had the samething the other day,really tight back pump that did not let up. Turns out I was really dehydrated. Still had a good workout though

That makes perfect sense. I have taken the last 5 days off of training (driving me nuts but it is for the better) and still seeing the chiro. I ahve been icing for 20 mins on and an hour off. I accidentally iced too long a couple days ago and got a little frost-bite!

I think that it could be a combination of a lower back "pump" and a slight muscle pull. My massage therapist said that it was swollen on one side and she really had to work to get all of the knots out.

I hope it get's better soon or I am going to go stir crazy!

Um, that is incorrect. Sustanon 250 is an injectable, not an oral. Do your research before you flame someone. Don't be ignorant, it dumbs-down the entre site.
