My back has been aching here and there for the whole week.. sometimes it hurts and sometimes its as if im fine..then it start to hurt when i bend down..and when i reach for a file..and when i blog..this is no good..im a young 21 year old who "regularly" goes to the gym..how can i already be an old man with a back ache.? To make matters worse, its the lower back..normally that indicates the lower spine could be the culprit..oh dear me..im scaring myself away..then recently i got to know my friend's uncle passed away with pancreas cancer and the 1st sympton was a backpain..omg..i think i am going to faint..
My lower back is still in pain and i have already been warned that i will be in pain tommorrow..time to get MC perhaps?? One more visit next week, and i hope to hit the driving range and the gym once again..

kay: yes i wish i had such a back..now to learn how to photoshop lar..mayb 1 day i show my real back ok?
take care joe. do lie flat on your back on the floor or hard board. it will relax yr back.
counterpain does it all. Really! Or swiss therapy. I applied it before going for my law exam. Need to write like laser printer mar, so my arm will get very ache. Can get from watson or guardian.
P/s: That sexy back is so yummy.
Must be sitting in front of the PC too much. Time to get off that chair, ,man! Do take care.
babekl: im actually seating on a very comfy chair now at work..goin to visit the doctor in abit to maybe get a referral doctor to a specialist..
xlb: haha i have been using salonplus but to no avail..i wish i had such a a back lar..wahaha
tigerfish: maybe lar..i shud sleep more instead..
i hate to tell you this, but once this happens, its likely to be a lifelong condition. i also had lower back pain, around 24 or 25 years old. it was also coz of knotted muscle etc etc ...but it always seems to recur at the same place. make sure you always sit upright, not slouching... always bend your knees to pick up heavy objects.... dont listen to all these young ppl...salonplas, counterpain etc...all very temporal. you should also do lower back strengthening exercise once you're better.

fellow lower back pain sufferer...
fellow lower back pain sufferer: so how you suggest i cure my pain now ler?? sigh..life long condition eh?
Hey, my friend also suffer from the same problem, lower back pain for many years now. Apparently, he had a slipped disc which rendered his lower backbone slightly... bent to the left. I think you better have a proper checkup to find out what's wrong.
Sexy back from Justin Timberlake? :D
jason: thanks for the concern..but touch wood i doubt i hav a slipped disc..its the muscles between the hip and the back..well i hope..
haha its going to be sexy back from nipples hahaha
you can try to attend yoga class to cure da pain! but somehow, i have stop going yoga class cause i hurt my shoulder badly and now da pain is back (especially when i sit in da cinema for too long!):( i am a victim too... sobzz...
i bumped into allan, of allan yap and nigel skelchy fame, in a blind man massage place in brickfields. he was recommending a fella who apparently does very good sports massage.
your symptoms sound like mine lah, the pain can go all the way to the thighs.
mei yen: haha i think i will give yoga a skip this time around..keke..hope u get well soon!
fbb: if this japanese fellow doesnt fix me up the 2nd time around..i probably call up allan and ask where.. die lar..all fat guys get the same symptons isit?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....piaks...dshhh....booffff
dude if the pain is in the centre then its spinal related *must see doctor!!!!*
but if the pain is on either side or both sides just above the hip, its muscular related. this can be because of too tight hamstrings because u dont stretch your muscles after u work out. you should warm up and stretch your joints before a workout, and to cool down stretch your muscles ...
for quick relief you can use yokoyoko for instant relief but it only lasts for a while.
the stretching's the key to fixing it....
but if the pain is in the middle at the spine, DO NOT STRETCH!!!!
hop this helps
