I really hope this doesn't sound like any whinging or moaning, I am more curious concerning my pesky little "problemino" in my lower back, my weak spot. It is nothing like incapacitating or torturous, just annoying. I have been always plagued by it as far back as I can remember, even when I was growing up. I don't feel a pain but it is very often sort of limp and stiff at the same time, the worst is when I try to get up from the bed, even when I am already wide awake it takes all of my will power to lift myself, because the lower back feels just like an overcooked noodle, and just doesn't want to support anything in upright position. Sometimes I am okay once I am up, but there are also times my back continue to "protest" and I have to will myself hard not to go back and lay down for some time until it finally gets used to the position.
It is strange, I am quite active and nimble physically and very fit in every other way, the only problem is that I am very inflexible when I try to bend forward with my legs straightened, which I suspect may be connected to this problem. I also detest the movement of bending over and picking up things from the floor, of course it is not like anyone's favourite activity, but the movement is particularly unnatural, awkward and uncomfortable for me (I trained my toes very well for this purpose), and also I suspect this problem being connected to my issue with my lower back.
Another thing is I find it difficult to remain in the same position, standing or sitting for a long time, the same spot start to stiffen and become uncomfortable after a while and I have to shift around constantly.
I know there are lots of people suffering lower back "PAIN", but this is not the case for me, it doesn't hurt but it is just annoying. It never has been serious enough to seek a medical attention, and I never hear of the similar problem spoken of by any other people, so it has remained a mystery to me for many years.
Is my problem normal or abnormal? And does anyone have a suggestion for alleviating my condition? Any input will be appreciated!!
