Persistent Lower Back Pain

[Gnahp]

thanks guys

updates after 48 hours

I didn't see doctor, but it is getting better, especially after I started taking Panadol Extend yesterday and doing some gentle stretching 

pain drops from 5/10 to 3/10 or 1/10 (with panadol)

Back injuries can occur due to the slightest things - bending down to pick up something, a sneeze, reaching up to take something..... etc. 

it there such a thing as "delayed injury"?

I tried to recall all activities prior to the back injury (no lion dance)

2 days before the injury, I was lifting a toolbox (~10kg) in a awkward posture

nothing unusual after that

like this but with both arms fully extended

Entirely possible. I think if your arms were extended, there's a lot of stress for your back to maintain that cantilever position.

I do a lot of exercises to strengthen the core muscles but will get backache once in a while.

a doctor once told me

if panadol can stop the pain, meaning it is not serious 😁

I think that one is a slow release paracetamol 

650mg instead of 500mg but release over a longer period of time than normal panadol

I believe there is such a thing as delayed injury.

Last sun i tripped and fall while walking outside, and i used my hands to break fall. My hand and forearm only started to feel pain on tue. 😅

Likely might be your "heavy branded" watch worn whilst wiping tables which may have affected your posture/ gait

same with car accidents also, somehow also after a day or 2 can feel something not right

The aging of MCF, throw one stone and it will hit someone with lower back pain. The statistics shows that you are not alone.

By age 50, MRI studies show that around 70–80% of people have some degree of lumbar disc degeneration, although many have no symptoms at all.

most likely just a strained muscle, i get that quite often by scrubbing toilet floor (not dancing)
