Lower Back Pain after Kettlebell Complex

Hey all,

I’ve had back pain for three weeks thinking I’d be healed up by now. I did the workout wrong for sure as I worked out in a smaller ceiling room in my house rather than the regular room I do my workouts in. I realize I wasn’t hinging my hips correctly and thus my lower back pain.
I’ve stretched by doing small stretches like cat-cow, pelvic tilts, and bringing my knees up and moving to the side.

• The symptoms I have are just like a sharp pain when I barely bend over. The pain is worse when I sit for a while or after waking up. The act of going to sit or getting up from sitting hurts. I can’t pick up my baby from his crib or put him down as he is in a low crib. The pain is in my lower back and my buttocks is recently feeling sore which I think is stemming from the back pain. The pain just seems the same as I started feeling it.

• What makes it better is when I’m moving around more throughout the day and pain killers.

•What makes it worse is sneezing, which sucks because I have seasonal allergies.

• I’m not working, but I’ve got some job opportunities coming up as I work in the trades as an electrician, and so it’ll impact my work. And like I said, it impacts my home life too with my baby.

• I’ve only tried stretching for the pain, am about to start icing my back.

• I am wondering what kind of doctor I should see, a Physical Therapist or a Physiatrist, or even a Chiropractor?
