Im wondering if anyone else on here is having lower back issues.
Been training for a little over 6 years now. Even though I'm a hobbyist, I have been consistently training 4-5 days a week. Im now 39 years old
For much of the past year , my lower back has been stiff and hurts a little when getting up or getting out of bed in the morning, but aside from those inconveniences, any actual pain was minor and getting in a few rolls usually helped loosen it up a bit.
Yesterday though.... oh man. Out of no where I got off the couch and this INTENSE pain nearly made me scream out in pain. I couldn't move at all and had to take a few seconds to slowly get up. This kept happening next few times i sat down and got up, and the sharp pain was constant for a few hours. I even considered going to urgent care but these days thats the last place you want to be.
The sharp pain went away after a few hours, but its still hurts getting up or sitting down and I cam definitely feel it still there. Getting in and out of my car I have to do it slowly and at an angle.
Im afraid to go see a doctor and they tell me I can't train anymore. Jiu jitsu is honestly the only thing I do in my day that isn't work that I enjoy and it's keeping me sane and in great shape for my age.
What do i do guys ? Anyone else has this issue and has or had a good outcome? Im resting my body for a few days to see.
Are there any tools or items I can get to help with these issues ? I saw those things people hang upside down from and its supposed to be great?
Any help or positive words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated
