I've no lower back pain/stiffness/discomfort - ever...is there something that I can do to determine if I do have a disc problem? Originally Posted by KnottedYet

There was a period of a couple of weeks - right before this happened - when my schedule was really tight and I started right into lifting after next to no warm-up. I only did that a couple of times and have stopped that dangerous behavior - and of course deadlifting targets the hammies among other things.

A lot of women don't. Many women have symptoms from the hips down, and their backs never say "boo." Originally Posted by Catrin

Somewhere I put up a quick-n-dirty way to diagnose yourself, but for $50 to profit SusanO, I don't just want quick-n-dirty.

go, baby, go! For some odd reason my hip flexor started aching while I was sitting on the couch taking a break from packing though it passed pretty quickly. I do know all of that is super tight, hammies, quads, core muscles, etc., etc., etc. I am stretching more, and will toss in a visit to my D.O. I had one for yesterday that I canceled...

I never thought anything about it...thankfully the hammie hasn't done that since last Saturday. You have my attention though, and I will see my D.O. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Ok, I am confused. I looked up a diagram of where the hip flexors are, and I wonder if I have been mistaken.
What I am referring to when I've mentioned sore hip flexors are on the inside of my thigh, next to my groin, but not in my groin. The diagram I saw seemed to indicate that they run down the middle and front of the thigh, angling over to the inside of the thigh.
Am I mistaken?
Ok, time for a little more packing and then off to try a 20 mile bike ride. Gently
