Back Pain

What are some good ways to relieve back pain from sports?

Every once in a while I get sharp pain in my lower back. I'm guessing it's from working out for long periods of time and over exerting myself. Any suggestions to relieve the pain or prevent it from coming back again?

1. does it feel more like a spinal injury or just purely your back muscles? STRETCH!! before and after you exercise ur body will thank youu for it!
2. maybe it's not even from exercising... maybe you just slouch too much. and PFTTTT forget working out for long periods of time. working out is overrated. sit down...lounge a bit.. eat good food eatingistheway.com is handy at times like these
3. You could be experiencing a muscle spasm. I would take some Advil to relieve the pain and rest the area a bit.
4. I get lower back pain from time to time too. I randomly feel a surge of pain when i'm laying down funny. Stretch your back out and try not to stay in the position that you first experience pain in. Moving around may hurt, but not moving into another position may hurt even more.
