Hey, so my back started to ache after doing an intense ab workout the other day. It's not enough pain that it hurts, but more just an ache that gets more annoying than anything. I haven't lifted anything heavy since for fear of making it worse, and i'm convinced it's something to do with my psoas muscle.
I went to a physiotherapist twice, one session he used an interferential, the next session he stuck some needles in my lower back muscle, so far no dice. My achey pain is still there.
Half the time i can't tell if it's a normal soreness or if i'm just being paranoid, and my paranoia is making me extra susceptible to noticing and sort of feeling in my back.
I've been googling psoas stretches, and releases. The release helped a bit..
I have taken time off from physical activity and now my back only ever really hurts when i try to work out.
So now I'm at a stage where i've just decided to do core exercised every day in my room and try to strengthen my psoas and internal muscles.
If anyone has any advice or has been through the same situation and fixed it, you're story would be much appreciated. I can't stand not being able to go to the gym, i go fucking crazy, i get uncomfortable and will just start sweating for no apparent reason, i get anxious, and so forth.
Advice appreciated.
-p.s sorry for typos, grammar error, etc.
