I was hoping to get some advice and feedback on my recent lower back issues.
Over the last 3 years I've had my lower back go into spasm. The first time was pretty rough took about a week and a half to recover. A couple of minor ones in between, 4-5 days of recovery. And most recently it took almost a month to recover. I'm just about to return to work.
My stats:
39 fit, but having been well fed by my wife, my tummy is softening. Generally in good shape and fairly strong for my size.
Work: Cable Guy - so tool bag, lotsa contorted positions, medium to light lifting
Golf: LOTS AND LOTS for about 4-6 years and not so much last few. Last year 20 rounds with 1-2 range sessions per week during season. This year under 12 with 1 to none range.
Problem: Spasming low back muscles, specifically the QL. Left side 50-60% worse then the right. Chiro says this is normal with golfers. I don't think that the injury was totally due to golf but the imbalance in pain shows it's not helping for sure.
I do realize that my ads will need some work. RA+TA+Obliques
I'm just not sure that I'll be able to get back to where I was before, pain free with golf or work for that matter. My health care pro's think no prob with regular stretching and work outs, but I want to make sure I'm (they're) not missing anything. Your thoughts?
