| chrispat | 6 days | details | |
| Firbee | 6 days | Constant movement seemed to help. Spoke with some sports genius who said is was a mucle pull, and that inactivity is the worst thing for it, although thats all it makes you want to do.

| Go Salamander | 6 days | Rest. | details |
| Ironfrog | 6 days | Voltaren immediately and normal exercise is key as long as the back i not "locked". In the latter case, it would be appropriate to start up with Voltaren, see a physical therapist or similar and get help to manipulate the joints in place the same day, and then start up with exercise. | details |

| OL | 7 days | IMS treatment on Thursday fixed it. | details |
| MDeVoll | 7 days | This injury caught me by surprise. I ramped up my workout, but nothing led me to think I would be out for the week. I used heat, ibuprofen, stretching and rest. Noticed that the pain migrated from my lower back to my front hip, before eventually resolving itself. | details |

| Tooms | 12 days | Cause - butterfly. ie. flexion/extension of pelvis. Ditto one week later, but not butterfly. Big cause - too much sitting, not enough postural work, big imbalance in right musculature vs left in my low back. Resolution - lying on my back with pillow in low back to reverse flexion position that I spasm into. Lots of trigger pointing of erector spinae, glutes and possibly QL (need to look it up!). Nurofen. With hint of a twinge need to lie on my back flat on the floor and relax and it ha... | details |

| slauenstein | 14 days | Rest as a first measure. The hip belt that I received from the PT helped stabilize the pelvis, relieved a lot of the pain and helped the joint heal. Worked wonders. | details |
| Charlie | 14 days | Took it easy - got some very helpful PT, the highlight of which was electrostimulation - felt like a hive of yellow jackets, but allowed me to straighten up and I didn't need a cane again after one treatment. | details |

| Coneff | 15 days | Stretching helped, but steady pace running turned out to be most helpful. I'm recovered, but it still needs my attention and extra time for stretching. | details |
| 'Bent | 16 days | Accupuncture with electrostim when worst, then chiro and lots of stretching, espec. psoas. May be related to lumbar support issues on 'bent. It was up and down, so I took 5 days fully off everything but balance and stretching. | details |

| slauenstein | 19 days | Dry needling in my butt muscles helped a lot. | details |
| Spottage | 19 days | Insufficient stretching? Insufficient gut exercises? too much gardening combined with squash combined with running. I stretch often - always in conjunction with exercise but perhaps it wasn't enough? | details |

| drwill4 | 20 days | 24 may 07 - It seems that I can perform any of the various activities I like to do such as weight liting, biking & kayaking. I have not tried hiking yet. My major problem is simply standing and walking. I can not stand for longer than a few minutes without significant pain. It has been 3 weeks since the flair-up and It does not seem to be getting better over time. Morning stretches and evening hot tub soaks alleviate the symptoms only. It seems that this again, is the new normal of my life a... | details |

| fpb | 31 days | Aside from lax warmups, cooldowns and cross-training, I think the main cause was an evening in early April when I went for a run at night and my headlamp gave out. I kept up my pace and made at least one bad step - I expected to hit ground and kept going a few more inches. I may have done this multiple times. I think this would have healed on its own but I think the chiropractor moved up the clock by a few weeks. | details |

| GrantM | 53 days | Went to Belconnen Physio (Natalie Woods) on Mon 3 September. Was given gentle stretching, plus nueral slides, plus Fisiocreme. Things had improved by the end of the week. Return visit on Fri 7 September said continue with stretching regime - only come back if not improving and don't run/race on weekend - last bit of advice was partially ignored :( | details |

| GrantM | 65 days | Not sure whether it was just time that eventually fixed things, or the 3 sessions of traction I have had in the last week, but things are a lot better. Still rather stiff, but even the soreness has nearly gone. | details |

| zoolander | 70 days | Still haven't done any real running. A few short runs (few hundred meters) here and there. Only feel discomfort (nerve) now when doing twists (i.e. wood choppers, etc.) | details |
| JonD | 70 days | see log above. 12.8 still occasionaly get that "pop" in the back and an odd stiffness in the hip - left side this morning but sometimes it can be right side. However there is really nothing more to treat in this injury. | details |

| fredder | 75 days | I'm going to call this over--even though the stiffness just hasn't gone away. It probably slows me down some, but it doesn't keep me from training anymore. To really address the problem, I think I'd have to spend more time at getting massages and adjustments than I do. | details |

| MeanGene | 79 days | cause - last winter heard (Feb 07?) a pop lifting weights in a bent over rowing exercise. No hurt then. PT and stretching routine recommended by Dr Rob Jones emphasized core muscles. Yoga recommended and must do stretching daily. It must work as I can bike ride again without pain afterwards (5/18/07) | details |

| vandy6616 | 113 days | Back is finally starting to feel good. Not really sure what cured it. I stopped drinking coffee. Maybe the caffine was "stressing" my body. My leg feels better to, but not quite 100% yet. The day I stopped drinking was the day my body started feeling better. Weird. | details |
