lower back pain

What should I do for lower back pain problems? I have intense pain in my lower back that I have gone to a Chiropractor for, but it isn’t helping. Lately when I do sit ups a sharp pain accures when I hit a certain angle. I need a non surgical approach because I want to go into the marine corp. Would stretching and excercise do the trick by building up my back muscles? Or is it my spine?

Have you considered massage therapy?

Also, you have to see the right chiropractor. They’re not all the same.

And yes, stretching is important. It took me three and a half years to solve my back problems after I moved here, but I’m doing much better now. Every so often, my chiropractor, who is very good, has to remind me about the stretches. I see him once a month, and try to get a full body ninety minute massage at the massage school every so often. Anyway, now I’m exercising and doing well.

Good luck!

Is that the smell of spam in the air? :confused:

Sorry, are you saying that spam helps you with lower back pain?

Lolol - no, I smell the smell of a spammer spamming Jonq #-o

I thought it sounded sincere. But what do I know…

I just thought it was a strange first post to make. might make sense if he was a settled-in member of the forum, but as a first post…would make more sense in Yahoo! answers

Of course it does! The fats and grease in Spam makes a nice massage lubricant. The only downside is that the neighborhood dogs follow you around like you’re god…

Mags, you ain’t wrong. It’s either a lead in for a sure-fire cure for only 19.95 plus S&H, or the new member has no idea what the site is about.

Sound familiar???

These posts are just a seemingly innocent query to see if the mods are awake. If the “thread” isn’t challenged, then the next one is the real spam. What used to be the phone call pitch has moved to the net. Real people making real posts looking for an opening. Any site that isn’t paying attention get’s flooded with this crap.

ROTFLMAO Tent there are so many smartasses here a spammer won’t stand a chance they will get spammed right back :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I read the post and approved it, benefit of the doubt.

What some of these Spam bots like to do is make an innocuous looking thread, but then they go back in and Edit it and insert their links at that point. I decided to approve the post for two reasons:

1.) In case it is not Spam and is genuine.

2.) Because I locked the post from being Edited, so if it is a spammer, they’ll have logged back in for nothing!

And slam the spam!!! =D> =D> =D>

Once you’re past the irritation of having to deal with the crap, it’s almost amusing. It’s the radar gun - radar detector wars! Every new fix in prevention generates a new exploitable loophole which produces the next prevention fix, which… ](*,) Sometimes I wonder how much Microsoft spends every year patching it’s leaky boat. :unamused:
