Weird Back Pain

[PowerPrincess]

Lately when I've been doing any type of back exercise, I've been getting a sharp pain in the upper center back (below neck) area? Has anyone ever gotten this? Where did it come from and why? Is there anything I can do to eleviate it?

bump. Good question.

I get some back pain too - although it is usually a little bit lower in the center of my back, or a little lower. I know it isn't from doing lifting incorrectly because I have someone there with me watching my form to see that I am doing the exercises correctly.

Mmm, dunno, but you should probably go to a chiropractor or something and have it checked out - you don't want to mess around with back problems - you can get laid up for months and months.

Hi, how funny you bring this up...I've just started getting treatment this last week from the chiropractor. Mine is in my upper-center back and between my shoulder. I went to a sports chiropractor which seems to be better than the other ones I have went to...he took x-rays, heated my back, did this electric massage and then adjusted it, the other ones I went to just adjusted it and seemed to make it worse...

I don't think that I need a chiropractor - yet anyways.

I think that my lower back gets sore/pain because I just started lifting with free weights. (yes I was attached to the cable resistance machines)
So I think my lower back is weak and just needs to get stronger. Any suggestions on good exercises that will target my lower back??
