Lower back pain

Wow massagesupplies's website has some innovative tools!
I'm currently using foam roller to ease my ache (left lower back towards the waist). The relief is awesome, but the ache is a rather persistent one.
Even got a handheld electronic accupuncture gadget resembling those used by TCMs, not able to tell if it has any effect yet.

go see doctor and get a scan if needed...the sore aching can last for months and years until one day its hits you...slip disc. Had a 'sore' back for years. Very sore when i wake up but its gone after i walk around a bit. like burning sensation. A bit sore after i sit too long or lie down too long. I always though its my muscle cause i sleep in aircon. Was applying heat rub and all that stuff. One day woke up, cannot walk. Had to crawl and wait a few hours until i can take small steps.

went for scan.....doctor say slip disc and 1)have to operate, 2) quit my job and 3)quit all sports including golf. Thank god i only quit my job. After a very expensive therapy and many years of limited mobility and many alternative therapy, finally i found a chinese doctor that can alleviate my pain and it worked!!!!

moral of story..seek medical help and pay to get a scan. Even Chinese doctors also see your scans!!!! dont listen to every advise from the doctors and seek 2nd, 3rd even 4th opinions. Once you get a slip disc, there is no turning back. The pain will be there forever and will get worse when u get older. There will always be relapse as well. If you can help to prevent it now do so..dont wait.

My first ache was triggered after a fever whilst having a stiff back, the ache persisted over 2 months, went for TCM and manage to recover.

Started ranging again till one fine day after a run, I was reaching for my toes when my back "clicked" and the ache came back.

been trying to muscle rub and foam roll it out for the past 2 months
