So, my back gave way the other day... nothing special just bit of stress at home, then whilst cleaning up the kitchen frantically i turned to put something in the bin - next thing i know theres a lightening bolt up my back and im on the floor!
This happened to me a few years back - it was a spasm, protecting the muscle around the one that torn, locking up so i couldnt even stand or sit. Doc just game me some massive ibuprofen pills.
This time, damage was milder, and after a few days of strong painkillers, its edvident its the thing lower back muscle, lumber area that went.... I pretty sure i know what it was, poor posture at my office job and poor shoes (im a heel stomper)
My question is, how long before i can go back into the gym? Its still sore so presume i dont train it at all and just do arms etc instead?
Going to stick to machines as i know there are supporting uscles just from walking that you feel tense up, so isolation is key. Ive got a stretchy waist brace, some decent sports inner soles and a new pair of trainers arriving, im also thinking about posture ALL the time.
