Prob with back

Ok my back is real sore. Today i was squating, everythign felt fine. I did my ten reps. But since about wed my back has been real sore. Just the lower part, and its only sore when I bend over. Any suggestions, im on fina, should i take some advil?

Ill try getting more water. I drink almost a gallon a day. Mayb I should lower the fina to 50mg a day.

Any suggestions on something i can take for my kidneys?

It hurts more when i arch my back.

are you stretching consistently?

If it's muscular, I can recommend a few things. First, stretch your hams out really well 2x a day. You're hams could be tight, which will put extra tension on your lower back. Second, try doing exercises that don't stress that area directly for a few weeks to let the muscles in that area recover. Instead of squats, do hack squats on a sled. Instead of bent over rows or seated cable rows, use the machines that mimick the same motion and have back support.

Footballcat, I was having back pains last week and I think it was from the fina. I lowered the dose a little and doubled my water intake and it stopped hurting in one day. And it has not hurt since. I think it WAS the fina(kidneys) and NOT a muscle.

Hope that helps.

Well ten hours of sleep and Half a gallon of cranberry juice later. It doesnt hurt anymore. Its just a lil sore back there nothing major like last night.

I never had any dis color in my piss.

So i dont know what it was. But its feeling better. I think im going to go get some cranberry extract today.

just be careful bro, i had a back injury about 2 months ago, kept training, thought it was a slight pulled muscle, went in the gym to work chest ( just done 335 for 5 the week prior), put 135 on to warm up, and it fell through my chest, had to get someone to pull it off, i was like wtf, anyhow woke up the next morning, and couldn't move and lost the feeling in my left arm. turned out i had 2 bulging disks and one herniated disk, the training was doing nothing but inflaming it, and finally pinched off a nerve. still not back in the gym, so just make sure its not something more severe, if you don't have your back you can't do shit. take care

p.s. anybody know anything about steroid shots in your back, they gave me a name, basically it cortizone. any downfalls to taking these. the doc has me set up to take a series of 3 injections 1x a week for the next 3 weeks. i go get my second one tomorrow.

bad news from what i hear,custombikes.My mother got them in her shoulder,and they disinegrated everything.be careful,dont let the temp pain relief fool you.

damn, don't tell me that. i had one 12 years ago in my shoulder when i was playing college ball, and never a problem since then. hopefully this will go the same. i may have to train around it, and eliminate a few exercises, but that's fine, i just want to get back training, i cant live with the thought of being an average joe, or getting fat! (not knocking nobody, i just don't want to look like that)
