Sudden Onset Acute Back Pain

[Karma007]

Okay, so in a nutshell, I can spend hours on my bike, with no problem. Just last week after 2 hours on the trainer, I was grounded with acute lower pack pain; missed work, the whole deal. Felt better, got on the trainer this morning. Got off 30 minutes later, and the pain returned. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? I haven't had the trainer long, and have just started using it regularly. I DO have rollers, and have never had a problem.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm do for a new saddle. Would my saddle just 'quit' on me like that? Or do you think it's related to the trainer?

I went to my Hellerwork practitioner when this happened. Mine was not bike related, I strained myself reaching. I would suggest you see a professional. back pain is nothing to fool around with.

A BIG ditto.

Take care and get checked out.

One of my cleats has a tendency to slip out of place, and when it happens it results in pain in my lower back. So -- maybe give all your attachment points a good once over to make sure everything is properly aligned?

Thanks guys! I actually went to Kaiser Wednesday morning, after thinking it was something I did at yoga on Monday. They gave me drugs and told me to be careful. After a couple days, I was up and around, walked the dog, stuff like that. It was fine until after I got back on the bike today. I guess my real question is why my bike (which I've never had a problem with) would now be causing problems out of the blue?

Are you going to wait for Knott to tell you to go see a McKenzie trained PT?
