Hi Everyone,
My name is Sarah and I just recently came back to swimming (about 3 weeks ago) after a couple years break. (I am 27).
After the first week of swimming in the local Masters program, I started to develop lower back pain. The pain got so bad that I can no longer swim...I saw my doctor and they told me that it is a muscle strain...
Has anyone else delt with lower back pain? How long was it before you started to feel better?:confused:

I too have a bulging disc problem and discovered a way to control my lower back pain from a suggestion here on this forum about one year ago. The method is called the McKenzie method and is some exercises to help realign your lower spine when pain occurs. It amounts to doing a push-up except your hips stay on the ground, so that you extend the back and push the disc back where it belongs.
Kim Tarnower, thanks for the advice last September!
If anyone is interested here's the website for the McKenzie Institute. I would highly recommend the book "Treat Your Own Back"
