Re: Lower back pain - when to worry?
Wow,
I can relate - I have a pain that pops up near my right scapula and I start to worry. But typically I've overdone it on the rowing machine, etc.
Did you do a lot of lifting or leaning in a position that is not typical for the cookoff? Bending over and straightening up frequently might have overworked your Erector Spinae muscles - which extend the back.
When you go downhill on the hike do you typically turn your feet out for more stability? My husband does this and his deep lateral rotator muscles (from the sacrum to the "hip bone") hurt afterwards. Especially bothersome at the attachment at the hip for him.
Maybe you could try a session with an experienced massage therapist while you wait on your doctor's return. If it is muscle pain they could relieve the pain, and help reduce the stress of worrying about a re-occurence.
Hopefully its just too much active living!
Happy Holidays.
