I know it’s a joke " oh haha you’re 30, everything hurts now cuz you’re so old!" But really, is something wrong with me or are backs just this stupid? Not overweight. Decently active although I don’t exersize every single day. No genetic issues, doctor always says im in perfect health. But my lower back will randomly act up, sometimes it gets so bad that I about black out from the pain. Thats pretty rare though, usually it’s just an ache all day when I move or try to put my socks on. Its not sciatica, as I never feel numbness or pain in my legs. Mild weakness maybe if it hurts really bad.

I feel like any doctor is just going to say welp, you’re old it happens, or tell me I need 3.5 million dollar spinal surgery.

    I started experiencing this after 30. In my case it’s back muscles tightening up, because of bad posture that lead to the weakening of the core muscles which put too much strain on the back.

    Got shown some excercises and got better after a while. Got back every once in a while, but usually I managed to get it under control.

    Just got back again and wouldn’t get away for weeks now. Sounds a lot like what you have. I’m going ti schedule the doctor again, I recommend you do the same. This shouldn’t be normal.
