With all the daily grind we put on our bodies, the most common thing you say to yourself or hear someone say has to be <strong>my lower back hurts<\/strong>. The amount of times we move throughout the day, twisting while we turn and just plain old fashioned bend over, our lower back is going to move in a way it doesn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<p>And believe me\u2026 when we move in a way our spine disagrees with, you will quickly, and most likely, very painfully, scream out, \u201cmy lower back hurts!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, if we do absolutely nothing, stay in bed all day, lay on the couch 24\/7 there is a 95% chance we will never hurt ourselves. I leave 5% open for causing pain because me may exert ourselves reaching for the remote or pull something reaching for that fallen potato chip.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately there is some bad news. We actually need to do things like work, play and just be able to move in general so if your back hurts, we\u2019ve got a problem.<\/p>\n<h2>My Lower Back Hurts \u2013 Why?<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, as much as we would all like to be able to do nothing that really isn\u2019t an option. We all have a story why <em>my lower back hurts<\/em> and mine goes something like this:<\/p>\n<p>First of all, I am 6\u20194\u2033 so right off the bat I have a disadvantage. That disadvantage being my spine is about 3 feet long. That\u2019s just more stuff to go wrong in my opinion. It doesn\u2019t help that every job I have seemed to had during my life, each one of those requires a lot of bending or lifting and my back hates that.<\/p>\n<p>My current job is bartending. It sounds cushy and comfy just standing behind a bar but there is a lot more to it then you would think. I am moving at all times and fairly quickly. Having to bend over for glasses, reaching and twisting for the top shelf booze and changing 150 lb kegs of beer isn\u2019t exactly back friendly. One wrong movement lifting one of those bad boys and I am going to have a hell of a lot more problems then just my lower back hurts. All I\u2019ll be doing is laying in bed. <\/p>\n<h3>What to do if My Lower Back Hurts<\/h3>\n<p>Up until a few days ago, this was my solution to fixing my lower back problems:<\/p>\n<p>ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!<\/p>\n<p>I have had lower back pains for as long as I can remember and that was my remedy for curing it. And most times, it actually worked. It would hurt for a few days, then go away for a few weeks. Then it would hurt again, then go away. This time though, it\u2019s been hurting for 7 straight months so I\u2019m getting the feeling it ain\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>So this time, I\u2019m actually taking action. I went to a Chiropractor for the first time in about 9 years. For those of you who are anti-chiropractor\u2026 and already screaming they aren\u2019t real doctors, scammers, or they don\u2019t work\u2026 shut up for a second. Haha.<\/p>\n<p>My lower back hurt so bad that the pain had gone down my right leg and I could barely work. It still hurts a bit they hooked me up to this sweet chair that stretched my lower back and electrical system that massaged me. Oh my god!<\/p>\n<p>Then they put this little device called the \u201cthumper\u201d on back muscles. Wow! Why don\u2019t massage therapists just use those things. Save them pain on their wrists and hands. I offered them a lot of money several times for their little set up. I just get relaxed thinking about those machines working on my back pain.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve only been twice this week but I already see huge improvement in my back. Put it this way, I can actually walk again. Three days ago I couldn\u2019t even move, today I can move, with pain still, but they say in a few weeks I should be pain free.<\/p>\n<p>If it means, instead of saying \u201cmy lower back hurts\u201d to being able to do stuff I love doing pain free, I\u2019m gonna keep going till I can do it. Go get your back checked out. It could be something more severe then a little back pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Lower Back F&amp;$king Hurts \u2013 Does Yours?
