I'm really concerned that I've gone all my life not realizing I have a dic in my back..

This is such a big repost, you even kept the typo in the title.

Fake. There's not even 200 million days in one year.

I had the worst back, and sometimes still do. But honestly what made the bad pain go away was trying to not be stressed out!
dinotron
I'll tell you what else on my body is 17.3 inches long ;) ....The span of leg between my knee and ankle.
TrapperGinHawkeye
Honestly, after 10 + years of back pain... Correcting my posture combined with exercise worked best. It's not easy to do, of course.
Ateyx
Anybody looking to test there posture try sitting up straight on the edge of your chair without back support. You probably won't last long
wowTheUsernameWasAlreadyTaken
I'm just curious: did anything change in your life at the time your backpain got better too? :) I'm a physiotherapist and curious.
TrapperGinHawkeye
I went to see a physiotherapist for a shoulder injury. She took one look at my posture and said I needed more than just shoulder rehab.

How do you spend 200 million days in bed per year, asking for a friend
AgentBlackJack
worked in construction. Saw bad form all day. They laughed at my "weird" proper lifting techniques. They all have bad backs now. Oh well.

Are you meaning to tell me you can't undo 20 years of abuse and disuse of my hips and ankles to fix my back pain in 5 minutes? Psh, weak
whatevenisameme
Back pain isn't just due to tight muscles & poor lifting techniques, there are myriad reasons that may cause it, just read all the comments
whatevenisameme
Source: I am a physical therapist
whatevenisameme
Scoliosis, sciatica, herniated disc, facet dysfunction, spondylitis, spondylolysthesis, to name a few. These all require different treatment

Not to mention back pain referred from non-musculoskeletal problems!

I've seriously injured my back and I can't emphasize enough how important it is to build up your core strength and sleep in a good bed.
charbreezy
Thissss. Especially if you work in a place where you move around or lift things a lot. Physical therapy made me exercise my core and (1/2)

the pain really went away!

Or, just chop off my head. No more pain

Make sure to keep up with these exercises, or you'll have your backpain pain back!

Pulled a muscle in my lower back yesterday (apparently in my sleep somehow...) This is way too relevant but I won't argue with good timing!

Never argue with good timing.

Umm, yeah... I don't any of those exercises are gonna fix my degenerated discs or damaged facet joint.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
There are nutritional supplements that can help
whatevenisameme
Have you ever tried physical therapy?
TittyTwister
After a snowboarding accident I have almost all of the problems that a man can have with his back. Herniated discs, protrusions, damaged
TittyTwister
facets, fractions, tumors... Sometimes is really hard, so I just want to say to you don't give up. May be ACADIA or bioprinting will help.
TittyTwister
But this is a long way off... Still keep hope alive. Without it is worse...
DcRuckus
You know what will. Strengthening your core, and losing some weight. Somtimes is caused by your back workin where you're core should be.

I agree, having some faith even as small as a mustard seed helps.

Heavy dead lifts all the way
siler7
Don't START heavy! Good grief.
ChristopherColumbus
Rephrase that to heavy for you
whatevenisameme
As a physical therapist, for god's sake please have someone who knows what they're doing train you properly first
JarBare
As a strength coach, I thank you for pointing that out.
Plusheen
See, a noobie like me isn't sure if you're kidding or not.
jacko92577
It actually does help, provided you don't start heavy and you use proper technique. Strengthening the muscles that support your spine 1/2
Hedon
Not kidding, start with weights you can manage in good form and work your way up.
jacko92577
2/2 is always a good idea.

3 lifts in and I found myself yelling at the monitor "just stop you sick bastard!"
margielaswithnolaces
Snatch grip deads target the back even better
snickerqueef
Different deadlift forms are better for targeting different areas, not just "the back." Snatch grip is better for lat activation.
margielaswithnolaces
Right, I was just generalizing. In a lifting forum everything gets quite a bit more specific. What I mean to say is
shootyshootyguy
Don't forget to rotate some good mornings into the workout.
doctorbees
Is this another name for back extensions? I do those on an incline with a kettlebell.
partytime4321
Similar, but not the same. Good mornings are done standing with minimal or no bend in knees. Good back and hamstring workout
KidsGotPieceOnHim
I agree but I never tell people to do good mornings because most people are far too weak to do them correctly
Protean2648
Good mornings are for pussies and girls.
samthing
Two guys I know wrecked their backs with dead lifts and had to stop their weight lifting hobby.
fattyontheinside93
Plain and simple: they weren't doing it right. Most likely lifting with their back as well. Spine should be neutral, not rounded.
samthing
Dunno. Both lifted since teenagers and took part in national and local competitions every now and then.
fattyontheinside93
Hard to tell because I can't see their form/techniques/habits, but if they've been competing thenn... I could be wrong.
steikewaffel
Until you place your foot wrong and your back snaps. Seems unnecessary to strain the whole vertebrae just to train the lower back muscles.
partytime4321
It does a lot more than just back, so it's worthwhile IMO. If you're lifting suitable weight with proper form you should be fine.
snickerqueef
Deadlifts are so much more than lower back exercises. It's a full compound movement, and hits your entire body if you're doing them right.
mickison
If you're doing them right. It seems to be one of those exercise that a lot of people do wrong
HeavyMetalMonk
It doesn't strain the vertebrae. It works the hamstring, lower back, mid back, upper back, traps and lats. It is one of the BEST lifts.
partytime4321
(2) I've heard developing glutes / hamstrings can also help alleviate back pain (in which case deadlifts are even better)
twocatsgluedbacktobacktodefyphysics
Dead lift to workouts is the kale to vegetables.
JarBare
Public service anouncement: if you are feeling deadlifts more in your lower back than you are your butt, you're doing it wrong.
wofulunicycle
Considering most people's lower backs are one of the least undeveloped muscle groups, that's not necessarily true for most people.
wofulunicycle
I feel it most in my lower back, then hamstrings, then glutes. It's also a hell of a workout for forearms because of the weight.
JarBare
I'll have to respectfully disagree mainly because i was referencing for novice lifters, but I don't want to talk about work :)

Did you mean upper backpain pain?
Newballs
Yes, I've like a trapped nerve which seems to be giving me stomach pains the last 4 years. I feel like an old man at times, I'm only 22!!

But yeah whatever it is I could do with streches for my upper back/shoulder blades area

Oh no! I'm sorry, I was making a bad joke referencing the title, but I'm really sorry that you're suffering.
HowardMoonsHotpants
Is surgery not a possibility?
Newballs
Hahahah sorry I only realised now that you mention it!!! I've had a few MRIs and they've come back clean apparently, I've had surgery on 1/2
Newballs
My knee twice and that never fixed it so I've given up on my countries (Ireland) surgical staff haha back surgery is risky anyway! 2/2
