Does this ring a bell?

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2004/03/08, 03:02 PM I have a question concerning the feeling I have in my lower back. I did not describe it as pain because it really isnt. About 3-4 inches above my beltline right on my spine, I have a feeling of a bruise when something touches it. I do not feel anything out of the ordinary when I twist or turn. I can slightly feel it when I go to touch my toes. I have researched back pain but it says that the pain should be a very sharp pain with disks and the such. It is nowhere near sharp. Has anyone had this type of feeling?? I have been doing deadlifts and swore that I had good form. The feeling did not start while working out but working my back does seem to make it slightly worse. Could this be just my back being sore from training? I do not think so because of where it is on my back. Any fed back will be appreciated:dumbbell:
