How do you guys deal with this? I have never injured any part of my back or hips, but I nonetheless suffer from slight annoying pains throughout my back muscles. I'm only twenty and I'd like to figure out how to end it, it's getting in the way of my general quality of life.
Before trying to self medicate let's dig deeper:
Is it a pain or just some kind of tension (Does it hurt or does is just bother you)
If it's a pain, what kind is it ? Pinching inside or more hurting while turning back to grab something behind you ?
Did you lift something heavy in the last weeks/month (stand up shoulder press)
The only 2 pain that need extreme attention are headache and back pain.
Back pain can go from bad posture due to mental dysfunction to lumbago to even something more serious and you don't treat those the same way.
Because you said it's chronic we might think that's it's because you do something at some interval that is bad for your back.
If it happened in the gym I would recommend you to stay away from any stand up lifting and to strengthen your back first with some static routine
Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral
