Lower back pain

[syntax]

For relief.. Iceman as mentioned above. It will freeze up the muscle(stop spasms) and allow it to heal(its kinda like reporral gel but more effective and doesn't do the heating of muscle like deep heat and its cheaper although its apparently for horses.. lol).

I love the "consult vet if you have issues" statement.

Blu, get X-rays and see a chiropractor. One will tell you of serious issues, the other will resolve any non-surgical issues and give you exercises.

Jip, I do ... this is the first time the lower back pain has the added 'bonus' of a pain down the leg. .

That is a sign that the sciatic nerve is piching and could mean a more serious injury. Get x-rays done just to be safe, even if you are starting with a disc problem it doesn't automatically mean surgery, but at least you know what is causing the problem and get it treated from there. Proper excersice and adjusting your way of doing things can prevent the problem from getting worse, but ignoring it will cause it to deteriorate.

Ignore it at your peril (take this advice from someone with a 2 level fusion and fixation).

cos I do exercise a lot and it includes weight training.

Thats interesting.. might be that you under did/skipped lower back stuff which could cause that to take more strain. But yah, you need to check what it is, if its just muscle thats the way to do it.
