Lower back spasms.. Advice?

Has this just started or is it the result of an injury?

Diazepan is great

I self-banned myself

Recuring, almost every 3 years-ish... This time I must have turned awkwardly in bed. Started with a slight twinge, 3 days later, Cant stand, cant sit, cant lay down..

I sometimes put it down to complacency, I forget what might happen if I get too ambitious with lifting heavy objects..

Try some gentle traction. Other than that, time.

Posture and being sensible ,you really need a diagnosis but hard to come by .

I posted some very helpful information on this thread earlier this morning. It has now disappeared. It was helpful, non controversial & not insulting. I can't imagine it was reported so must have been removed by the mods. White flag raised. I stopped posting previously because of this & returned for the Goodwood festival & a bit longer because I'm housebound at the moment. Don't think I'll bother, frankly. IT'S RIDICULOUS!

Probably removed after triggering some AI bot. I don't think there are human mods here.

Diazepam and a truss for lower back spasms? Who is the Dr? Pepper? Fox? Dre?

don't know how he's got a bad back, the forum's been carrying him for years

Could be Sciatica which can be extremely painfull, make sure your posture is good if on the computer for long spells.

Forget about doggy and missionary.....

How big is your boyfriend....

I had no Idea my symptoms were more frequently diagnosed or discussed within the gay and bisexual men's community. Thanks for pointing that out ftg..  But youre barking up the wrong tree with me..

Hanging from a bar for a minute or look up Joe Hippensteel's Ultimate Human Performance basic course. If you can do his stretches (which take hours and feel like torture), 90+% of lower back problems go away. You may be too old for that type of pain/discomfort, however.

non-p1sstake response, see a physio for a proper diagnosis and exercise plan, you want to treat the cause not the symptoms.

Yoga. Game changer for me lower back and hip area's. Free's up and strengthens

Slowly slowly getting there... 8.5 at peak... Currently 2.5..

Being overweight can cause issues for lower back,and most instances if not from injury like moving heavy objects are big belly pulling down via gravitational force and putting strain on pelvis, lower back  gets pulled out of alignment.

Lose some weight, take some exercise and kick the jellies into touch.

I'm a trim 17 stone.. I love to exercise.. I never touch jellies..

Sometimes moving heavy objects can catch me off guard.. In a couple of weeks this episode will be forgotten.

Must remember not to become complacent! is the trick.

See an osteopath. No-one on here knows your exact circumstances and can't give anything other than well meant advice, but it might just be wrong for you.

A trim 17 stone?

Sorry but no such thing.

17 stone, what a whopper

Well if you are only 5ft 3 then maybe mes

Not need for the fat-shaming, lads.

6'4"... probably 17.5 these days... Calm yourself down mes.. I totally forbid you to fantasise about me..

I imagine mes looks up to you emit

Staying well hydrated and taking electrolytes helps for muscle spasms

It might be dehydration from the hot weather was a contributory factor.

Calcium and magnesium are what you need also
