[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 511539, member: 84"] I've had issues with lower back pain since I was a kid too. And I can't do that stand in one place for long either........literally kills me. (and was doing so when I was 16, it's one reason I have to keep moving when working) No clue what it is. I've never been diagnosed with back issues.......and I've had plenty of xrays so if there was something wrong I'm sure they'd have spotted it by now. I'm thinking posture related. (or at least that isn't helping) I don't have horrible posture or anything, but I do tend to keep my abdominal muscles relaxed.......and guess where I hold water first? And if I'm holding water, the back pain is ballistic. If I'm carrying extra weight, same story. So while exercising now........I make a conscious effort to pull in my stomach muscles when working out and when walking around or standing. Oddly, it helps. No clue why but it does. Doesn't get rid of all of it, but I can last longer in a standing position without moving. My sis told me to try it, I thought she was nuts.....but she always had the same issue and in the military the first thing they make you do is pull in your gut. And that's how she discovered it helps. Might not take it away, but it couldn't hurt to try to see if it helps some. I'm noticing a difference, and she swears at some point that conscious decision becomes automatic.......still waiting for that part. lol [/QUOTE]
