I used to have lower back problems before I had my girls. I would get bad muscle spasms. I starting exercising and my problem went away and didn't have problems for 13 yrs. Since I've had relationship problems, I stopped exercising regularly. I went for a walk with my girls and did some weight lifting and felt a strain in my back. Tried to get down on the floor and do the common back stretches and couldn't get up...took me 10 min to get up.
At the moment I can barely walk and I have no flexibility in my lower back. I know this is from not exercising. I can't stand up straight and kind of leaning to the side - can hardly walk. I feel like I'm 90 ATM. If I'm not better by Monday I'll go for Xrays. When I'm better I'm going to start back on my exercise routine - I'm disappointed in myself.
