Hey there, I'm a little late to the party, but I had a question none the less: I visited a chiropractor in February because I have some kinda, pretty serious back issues.
My back doesn't hurt all of the time, but my problem comes when i'm laying down on a hard surface- like doing sit ups on the floor or just laying there flat on my back. my lower back locks up, causing paralyzing pain. I'm talking like.. I can barely breathe from the pain and I have very very limited motion. Once I manage to turtle myself onto my stomach (which can take up to an hour) and stand up, I feel okay. Still a little pain lingering, but I'm not being tortured.
I went to the chiropractor and he told me I had a pinched nerve in my lower, and upper back (I had an S curve), and something in my right hip was locked- that i couldn't move my leg up over my buttcheek or something.. so he did his weird "jack hammer on my spine" routine, which hurt incredibly bad. Only to have an excruciating POP for the spine to go right back into place how it was.
I went back maybe three times, and it was just the same thing. He never really explained exactly what the thing in my lower back is, why it happens only on hard floors (not on beds or couches) and is there anything I can do, other than spend $20 +gas a week for the next 50 years getting spinal adjustments?
p.s. I'm a 23 year old female, who has had a child. Dunno if that helps any. I didn't notice any problems for at least a year and a half after giving birth.. so i don't know if that was the cause.
TL:DR, my back is screwed up and the Chiropractor never explained so I got frustrated and stopped going. Any idea what's exactly wrong with my back? Any at home suggestions to help aid my problems?
