HORRIBLE lower back pain

Not likely to be from the spinal if you have had nothing prior to 12 weeks. And any soft tissue damage should have completely healed.

Sounds like herniated disc

Do you stretch ?

Could it be scar tissue ?

We have a warm up before every workout that we absolutely have to do before we can start the work out and it targets every muscle in your body to stretch it out.

I don't do much weight when we do the bar exercises I have been taking it easy and during the workouts I haven't felt any kind of back pain at all.

I'm just not sure what it is but it's literally the worst.

I workout too and always stretch but I still hurt my back at some point. I don't even know when because it didn't hurt when it happened and it usually doesn't until later. I ended up having a bulging disc in my lower back. It will forever be there but after I rested it and the pain fully went away (right before I got pregnant) the pain has not returned. It was pushing on my sciatic nerve causing horrible pain in my back that shot down my leg at points. I could hardly walk when it was irritated. I had to do a couple days of very light activity and then slowly get back to strengthen the muscles in my back. One wrong move can cause back problems.

But not saying that's what it is, just don't rule out a back injury because you didn't feel it happen. I was in denial still going to the gym until I couldn't walk lol

jmedina that actually sounds exactly like what I have going on!

Did you go to the doctor and get meds or physical therapy?

I've honestly been taking the oxy that was left over from my c section ? but it's been helping!

And my hubby is out of town today so it's just myself and Roman and I can barely lift him without the intense pain. Poor baby boy he's been so patient with me ?

Eventually I went to the dr because I also felt a UTI coming on (never had one though) lol but I had one and he tried telling me my back pain was from that! I'm like umm no it's not! He referred me to get an MRI after I argued with him because I knew something wasn't right. And then he forgot to prescribe pain pills so I also used some lortabs I had left over and strong ibuprofen. But I got the MRI and I could have done rehab for it but I just rested it and that worked but took awhile.

Good to know. Thank you!

I've been resting on the couch today and have a heating pad on my back and it seems to really be helping. I'm just hoping it doesn't last much longer lol!
