Re: Lower back pain - when to worry?

Marcia,

When is the last time you replaced the shoes you wore for the cooking marathon or exercise? I developed osteopenia with aging & AI's, and found that standing or walking on a surface with no "give" (i.e., cement vs. wood) started giving me back pain after a set number of hours on my feet, something totally foreign to me. I invested in a pair of good sneakers for exercise (to the tune of $100) and it was very well worth it - I was not getting the proper support in my old shoes, and my back alignment was off, creating fatigue and pain. Your problem could be something as simple as that.
