Re: Lower back pain - when to worry?
Thank you all for your comments! My back is still sore, and I feel it most when I bend down or stretch it during the day. I'm trying to not worry as much but I'll get it checked next week if the soreness/pain continues.
One thing mentioned above regarding shoes. I'm usually barefoot at home but was wearing my mid/high heeled sandal/mule on Thursday as I had guests over and was wearing a nice dress. Maybe that was too much stress on my back given I was standing almost all day on Wed without shoes on? Not sure.
I didn't exercise yesterday and won't again today but will be back at my spinning class tomorrow. I'll also try another massage on Friday. Hopefully the massage will make it better then.
Thanks!
Marcia
