Well as the title says, I get pain in my lower back whenever I do Abdominal exercises. What could be the reason for my back pain? Weak lower pain? Poor form? Im just a little confused and not sure what to do.
What abdominal exercises in particular? A crunch should have no lower back movement, so if it hurts in this situation then it’s due to poor form. When performing a sit up however, you may try to compensate with your lower back if your hip flexors are too weak, if this is the case then either strengthen your hip flexors or stick to abdominal and oblique isolation exercises.

Hi out there,
I have been having a really bad pain under my left rib cage . it doesnt happen all the time, most of the time , it is tender to the touch. first, is that the stomach? or liver? and any ideas out there . or if you have had this pain before. thanks
Take your right hand and place it on the lower
part of your rib cage on the right side.
In this area is the right lobe of the liver,
the biliary area, and the gallbladder.
Move your hand over toward the center.
You will have there your left lobe of the liver,
the stomach, and the pancreas.
Take your left hand and place it on the lower
part of your left rib cage: You have the spleen.
There is one kidney behind the liver on the
right hand side and one kidney behind the
spleen on the left hand side. Problem here would be felt more in the back area.
You could be checked out to see if it is
the kidney, spleen, or a pulled muscle in
that area.
The reason I asked you to use your hands,
is because doctors and nurses use the
"patient’s" point of view to list where a problem
is located in the body. If someone was
standing in front of the patient and describing this by "looking at" the patient..they would state it as being on the wrong side in their documentation.
Have you heard of patients having the
surgery performed on the wrong side of the
body? Maybe this is why.
I hope this has been of some help to you.

I have been having pain in my lower back on the left side, under my ribcage for a couple days now. It feels like a tight muscle, but it keeps getting tighter. Is is just a muscle, or could it be something else?
ohhh buddy… it could just be a tight muscle… but for me that was a sign of kidney stones. Ur doctor can arrange a simple ultrasound just like they do with pregnancies but use it to see if you have any… if you do they can use another ELF (extremely low frequency) to break up the kidney stones to where you can easily pass them without pain. The problem with knowing yourself is that they sometimes get stuck because they are shaped kinda like snowflakes most of the time and sometimes its not abstructive and sometimes it moves get stuck somewhere else and is abstructive creating the pain in your kidney. If you drink alot of dark soda that is a very common cause of kidney stones although just about too much of any kind of food can potentially cause them if you dont drink enough water on a regular basis. I had back pain on and off for 6 months to a year before they actually got REALLY bad and i needed to go to the hospital for the pain… i wrote them off as being just a spasmd muscle since i swim and play hockey… but boy did i wish i had just got checked before… its seriously the worste pain i’ve ever experienced and the doctor said that it can be more painful than childbirth… i dont doubt he is right.. definitely not fun… however on the bright side… the best thing if you get them is to drink beer… helps alleviate your muscles (cuz the pain comes from the dull pain causing your muscles to contract around the stone causing it to cut deeper and contract even tighter over time which is why the pain builds… even at their worste the pain dissapears from time to time for minutes to hours just depending on how smoothly its travelling in your system. But yeah.. get that checked out.. best of luck to you

Not too much longer because the liquid that you intake does not have a way to dispose of itself therefore the fluid just builds up all over your body. Slowly our body starts to shut down. Its a very painful death.

For the longest time I have had these random chest pains under my left rib cage. It happens randomly (at least i think it’s random), and it’s almost like a needle pain under somewhere in the upper ribs. When it happens, it will get worse if i breathe in or laugh, but if I stop laughing or breathe more shallow then it will go away after about 1 or 2 minutes. What could this be?
I also have pains like these. For me, its on both sides of my ribs and happens at random times too. I know exactly what you are talking about. I finally went to a doctor and they told me it was costal chondritis. They told me the only thing they can do it to put me on prescription pain medications. I didnt want to do this cuz its at random times. I just live with it. They told me to try taking 600mg of tylenol three times a day for 5 days to try to decrease inflammation. I don’t know your other medical background, so I wouldnt suggest doing this without talking to your doctor. In the end, I just deal with it because it doesnt happen to me everyday, probably more like once or twice a month. talk to your doctor. they can give you a better idea of what it is.
