If it is from the car ride or physical stress, lie on your back on the floor, and pick up your knees and slowly bring them to your stomach. Repeat, repeat.
When I was your age I started to have the same thing, not from driving but just day to day living, and I found that if I put those foot inserts in to my shoes from the drug store that helped out a lot. Good luck. It sucks. Maybe you can find some pot or something in the meantime.

Thanks to everyone who reassured what I thought it was, figured enough guys on here have had what this is and would know. I have a bottle of MR's back home and when I get back Sunday I will enjoy a few, and hit a chiro next week for an adjustment.

Sounds like a herniated disc and/or pinched nerve and/or Sciatica. I've herniated the same disc three times in my lower back in the past five years and the Dr. told me I can just live with it or have surgery to "possibly" fix it. I've had excruciating back pain to the point where I couldn't get out of bed, my muscles completely locked up, and almost to the point of blacking out. I have occasional back pain and all you really can do is take Naproxen or any other NSAID and go to a chiropractor to get laser treatment, stem treatment, massages, and get readjusted. It sucks.

The posisition you discribed in your 1st post is the "Sacroiliac joint"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint The ligaments arround it could be inflammated, I think they surely are, try an NSAID, it would resolve the pain quickly. Diclofenac, Meloxicam, Naproxen, Arthrotec or Ibuprofen should do the job, maybe you have some expirience with one off these. A herniated disc would cause way more pain, also pain in the leg, mostly lower than the knee Last edited by Romo; 12-27-2010 at 05:36 AM.. |

If it is a disc, delay surgery UNTIL ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!!
Many people after back surgery come out the same or worse,and only a few seem to actually be better afterwards. |

My grandfather has had 6 I know, why I'm being so cautious with my back. Plus I'm 6'7 so the margin of error is much smaller in my case.

As a chiropractor, it doesn't sound like a disc, the sacroiliac joint isn't moving causing swelling around the joint, which is why you feel pain. Take a hot shower and put a tennis ball in the muscle above the SI joint to get the muscle to relax. Go see your chiropractor and all should be good. As far as disc problems, symptoms are much worse and far more debilitating. No need for an MRI unless symptoms persist and increase. Save your 2K for something else.

Dude we get it.... you are ripped and really rich. Please stop posting all of this kind of stuff. LOL. Collin, hope you are feeling better dude. I've got Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis between L5/S1 so I feel your pain... quite literally. Fortunately I'm only a grade 1 and it's something I've been able to manage (so far) with core exercises and stretching regularly. In the beginning (when it really started bothering me) it was bad.... There was a period of about 18 months where I was injured (in some degree of pain) for at least 1 week a month. I remember one morning I bent over to feed the cats and jacked up my back so bad I literally couldn't walk for a week. The most important thing you can do is to recognize your limits and change your behaviors, etc. Lifting heavy stuff (or rather how you lift it) is the most obvious change, but beyond that I've had to all but eliminate any shoes I own that have heels on them (not talking high-heels either ). Even dress shoes with .5" heals will throw my back out of alignment and cause me serious pain these days. Good luck with it... chronic back pain is pretty crappy. |

Turns out this doc is a 4th generation chiropractor, had all the family pics and stuff since the late 19th century, thought it was pretty cool. You might know the family, Lensgraf family.

I went to a chiropractor and got a deep tissue massage type thing. It hurt like hell, but did help my back.
I would recommend Ibuprofin instead of tylenol. IB is an anti-inflamatory, tylenol is not. edit: just saw your update....hope all is well now. Back pain sucks.

Collin, don't come to bimmerpost for back problem advice. The back is a place where you can screw yourself up for the rest of your life very easily. See a specialist and get it figured out. Disc problems are a nightmare. |

bb forum kid looked like he had some sort of back spasm thing going on. Maybe he's got some advice on this matter |

Pretty sure it's a sign that you have a broken back;that you are broke back.
