Thanks - it is better. I am not sure what all of a sudden kicked it off, but I’d like to know so I can avoid it.
I found out that one of the biggest things that gives me low back pain is.....
Caffeine.
I stopped doing caffeine in February or March and I can’t tell you how much better my back is. The exercises do wonders but if I have caffeine, I will still have slightly nagging pain or spasms.
So now, I only drink decaffeinated coffee, decaffeinated soda and I try to avoid chocolate or anything else with caffeine in it.
I noticed one day that it seemed like my back always hurt right after drinking coffee so I googled something about coffee and low back pain just out of curiosity and desperation...
Turns out there are a lot of people who are very sensitive to caffeine and get low back spasms/pain when they drink
coffee.
I can feel it the next day if I go to McDonald’s and order 1 diet coke so it really is a thing.
I sleep better and get up better in the morning, my skin looks better too.
