ok so i got jiu jitsu tonight i feel like i pulled a back muscle in my back. like i get a sharp pain when i take a deep breath or twist a cretin way. its not bad enough to make me not wanna go but it is annoying me would it be bad to go? can u pull a muscle more then it already is ?
What drills are you doing this week?
this is only my second class first one was Monday witch was 50 min of practicing are guard n techniques 40 min of rolling but this class is only a hour so im not really sure
You can definitely make things worse by pushing it to hard in class if you have back pain. Avoid drills that hurt & tell your training partners not to stack you when you roll. Also, try to avoid rolling with guys that are a lot bigger - all that weight causes more strain when you are on the bottom.
I struggled with lower back pain for months because I never gave it enough time to heal - its not worth it! Just take it easy for a week or two until you feel better.
Are you sure you pulled a muscle? I often throw something in my back out of place, or a rib out of place and have to get t snapped back in. You might just need to get an alignment, or have someone pop your back for you.
thnx and great avatar by the way or pic or w.e alex grey great artist
idk ive tried yoga ive tried using a hot pad on it ive slept on the floor ive done every thing i can think of yet still no result
i hear YOGA helps, i dont practice it but ive heard good things for bad backs
anyone got proof of this fact?
I'm not a physician of any way, I'm only going off of personal experiences. But your comment about a sharp pain when you take a breath sounds like you might have a rib out. I would have it checked out if it keeps up for too long. Having my back popped always helps me.
Guard work can be rough on the back. If you plan on going I recommend letting your partner know about your back and having him either lighten up any stacking pressure or even avoiding it all together. Supporting somebodies body weight with your lower back can really destroy your back. I've learned to support stacking weight up on my shoulders to alleviate pressure off of my back, but explaining that via a message post is sort of pointless.Quote:

You probably can't do it yourself, but your chiro should be able to fix you right up. Hope it's just an alignment problem and you can get back to rolling in a couple of days.
You def can make things worse. Make sue you stretch properly beforehand.
I get the same thing at times. For me it is due to a good stretching session or if someone seriously stacked me up. Mine goes away in a few days.
My lower back pain is due to pulled muscle in the lower lumbar. Ironically, stretching it is the worse thing for me to do. In order to alleviate pressure on my lower lumbar I actually increase my stretches towards my hamstring, hips, and upper shoulders. Basically, I force my lower back to be stiff and I compensate for the lack of lower back pliability via the curvature of my hips and upper back.
Purely anecdotal and bizarre, but it is where my research led me and I haven't had back problems since. It's also increased my ability to gramby roll, but that's a different discussion.
ya man that and stretch alot
roll your back out and try and touch your feet to the mat over your head when on your back so it kinda looks like your giving youself a bj.. sorry only way i can describe it
and that should help with it
ice when u get home, use ben gay/icy hot, and be sure to stretch before and after. Stay hydrated as well, sometimes lack of water can cause u to pull/cramp up sooner. I have to watch my back myself so I kind of know how u feel...also at the gym try to incorporate some back workouts too to help strengthen it...
thank god I only have knee problems. those aren't as bad. I think.
Do you feel like it is below your shoulderblade?
I had the EXACT same problem after a session of rolling with some friends and i found some heat, and soft rubbing every now and then cleared it up by the morning.
I think it's from working the New York position and Chill Dog where your left shoulder has to be constantly lifted to hug your knee and hold the arm.
I was told that a very good stretch and warm up before would help a lot and when you feel you've pulled the muscle, go VERY light or keep off of it for a bit.
I have very limited knowledge i'm relaying info a gyming buddy told me.
I found if you give it a day still and let it recover it is not as bad next time and eventually i assume it will stop
yeah i went it was fine im going to chiropractor on Monday i think its a dislocated rib but who knows so im not to worried
