ebenvn Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_hyperlordosis Has anyone else been diagnosed with this? I recently started having severe lower back and left hamstring pains. Thought it was because of poor flexibility so tried a lot of stretching. After not improving I went to a doctor who sent me for X-rays and confirmed that I have Lumbar hyperlordosis. This was pinching the nerves in my back causing the pain. I am currently at a physio who helps with exercises and also posture etc. but would love any other advice? He has prohibited me from running and I can only cycle very upright (no tuck or drops)... I started a new job at the start of the year which has me sitting 10 hours a day. My thinking is this combined with training on a TT bike may have caused it.
Super J Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I had a very similar issue, severe disc degeneration that caused axcessive curvature of my lumbar region eventually rupturing 3 discs simultaniously....... GROOT ***!!I had an emergency 3 level fusion but am better now than before! secret is lots of core exercises, planks and crunches.... especially static holds!
RodTi Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Lumbar radiculopathy here... same thing, I think. Childhood injury - pinched nerve at the disc, shooting nerve pains down into the foot - made worse by vibrations, prolonged seating etc... Basically - my riding is stuffed... Operation if the physio doesn't work - and it's not... Going to try pilates next - apparently a good instructor nearby, that will do a proper assessment first. It sucks, can't even run anymore - vibrations sees my leg cave. But so be it, for now.
ebenvn Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys. Been at physio now for 2 weeks, stopped running and focus a lot on my posture... Pain is much better, but still feel it at the end of the day. Considering using a standing desk at wok from time to time!
TheKaiser Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Had the exact same issue and needed a spinal fusion. This was 3 months ago. Don't mess around with this kind of thing... In my case the serious nerve pain in my leg even started going away, which I interpreted as healing. After seing a specialist and getting an MRI it turned out that my leg was actually going lame. LUCKILY they caught it in time, so no permanent damage. Take my advise, go see a specialist. Rather be sure...
