My Back... Hurts!

Every now and then. Let us say it happens two to three times a year and is - I am almost completely sure now - connected to significant weather changes. Yes, I do sit a lot because I work in IT, and that is sure an area where TKD saves my... whatever a lot, but this nightmare comes that rare and makes me incapable of normal living for a few days. Then, like it never happened, it disappears, making it hard to diagnose and eventually prevent next time.

Am I too young for this kind of ... to happen to me? Well, let me shock you, I suffer that periodic trouble for more than 14 years now... and no medical examinations and treatments really helped. So I learned to live with it.

The funny thing is that symptoms have changed a bit during years. In the beginning, the pain used to appear in my left or right hip and spread to appropriate leg, almost paralyzing me - I literary could not move or turn in the bed, sitting was impossible as well as standing on hurting leg. Lately it changed to lower back pain which just annoys a lot, prevents sitting (and thus working) and bending forward - I can only tie my shoes if I squat.

I wonder what it is to become in the future. Each time it stops I feel like reborn and am instantly capable of doing wonders in sport. Then I forget about it and next time it shocks me again.

I wonder if other people doing Taekwondo have ever experienced similar problems? If so, a piece of advice could help - so far all I tried was not helpful. It just comes again and again and it picks the moment by its own - several times not a very good moment.

Right today I got rid of it (or better said it showed some mercy and left) and I feel great. But yesterday I had to miss my training, there was no chance to perform well. And I have to be careful about possible injuries when I have not complete control of my body. Can not wait until next week, actually, to be back to the gym.

So some crying at this blog for a change, enough. Happy training, folks, and let mistery pain never come to you!
