The Let Kev at your Back thread

[Watch_The_Break]

There’s a good article on AFR on a study into GAA injuries. The gist of it was that the majority of injuries in GAA were non-contact and as such were at least partly the result of players not receiving the correct conditioning training. Two of the major problems identified were Quad dominance and Gluteal weakness which cause a lot of hamstring injuries. I know lower back pain can be related to those complaints as well. Worth a read anyway - http://www.anfearrua.com/story.asp?id=3249

Have you tried a physical therapist rather than a physio Runt?

[TwoRunnyEggs]

How about a psychologist? This could all be in your head.

So you’re saying he’s full of shit then?

Stay away from doctors Runt, unless its a disc then they can do nothing to help you. The blood tests are a definite indication that he hasn’t a clue. Is your back only troubling you at night or
is it a constant issue? Anything specific that sets the pain off? Might be worth seeing an osteopath if the physio can’t cure you.

It’s only at night, after 5 hours sleep. I could be fine for 3 or 4 nights then in bad pain for the next 3.

I thought the blood test thing was a odd, the regular doctor was on holidays so was being covered by an Indian gentleman. Even the nurse was surprised by me bring sent for tests. It’s odd that the pain is gradually moving down my back.

Not totally odd that the pain is mobile, muscles will spasm and trigger adjoining muscles. It is odd that its only occuring at night. New matress perhaps?

No, I’ve slept on various matresses and the pain has still occurred. I had to sleep sitting up in recliner the other night. Slept fine in it. Once there is no pressure on the back then it seems to be fine. The pain went all the way across my ribs at one stage on it’s travels down my back.

Did you get the results of the blood test, Runt?

I need to put my mind at ease after a worrying few days.

No they weren’t back. The pain has subsided with the difene, but as the problem was intermittent in the first place I can’t be sure if they are actually doing anything, plus if I stop taking them will the pain come back.

He told me Thursday the blood tests were for Artrithis!

[TwoRunnyEggs]

I had awful trouble with my back before as well. Got a shoulder from a lad during a match and twisted awkwardly. I had some trouble before from it but nothing like the pain I got then. The psysio told me I’d a curve in my spine from one leg being a mm longer then the other, that’s why I asked in an earlier post.
Have you had any x-rays done or anything? It could be the way you lie at night or twist in your sleep.

I was told before about having “biomechanical mal-alignment” a fancy word for what you describe!

That’s what I was afraid off. Results of blood tests will highlight many abnormalities but they wouldn’t normally do them for sports injuries.

I’ll say a prayer for you, runt.

Don’t fart or you’ll destroy the good pants.

[KinvarasPassion]

Try a good laxative, that should relieve the symptoms.
