/fit/, my lower back is fucked and I'm sick of it.
I just came back from a run and both my lower left and right sides of my back are completely locked up and painful as hell. I don't know if this is a specific muscle that is in pain or one that others have felt hurt as a common thing as well, but I not sure what to do to fix it. The original way I seemed to pull it was almost a year and a half ago when I was lifting a medicine cabinet. I'm only 19 so this is fucked.
What do?
Maybe kidneys?
>fell for deadlift meme
Try stretching before and after your run, and most importantly, FOAM ROLL, believe it or not, the shit works, I had/have the same issue as you, although I do not think as badly, but it gets quite painful, and although it doesn't fix it completely, it really helps to alleviate the pain A LOT. I've run track, and go for casual runs and runs to cut weight and such, and for the past year my back has gotten the better of me progressing, and although I won't say the pain has altogether disappeared, it has gotten to be a lot more manageable. This is if your lower back muscles hurt, which is what you have described. I will also interestingly point out that I never had pain in my lower back for any other reason than running, no deadlifting, no nothing, just when I hit ~800m my shit just kept getting fucked, but foam rolling really helped a lot, hope this helps.

Thanks. This is the first time back pain has been caused by running, whereas the first time I got this pain it was before I even started lifting to to sedentary lifestyle. I'm not sure how to describe it.

weak core is common for back pain.

very redpilled physiotherapist with chronic low back pain here.
Chronic LBP is very fucking vague, there is no evidence for anything anyone says in this thread, or anything much at all really. Still, present to physiotherapist and they will do what is best based on the available evidence. Don't waste your time just do it.
