    Back Pain

    Hi,

    Im just after some advice about an injury of mine, any thoughts suggestions anything it could possibly be, anything would be greatly appreciated.

    Let me tell you about the history of my injury to put you in the picture a little.

    3 Years ago, i used to do karate, during training I felt a very serious strain when doing punch that requires a twisting of the torso, the pain i felt is here:



    I had to stop training, and went straight to hospital, they said its a bad bad strain after Xraying lots to check there was no breaks or fractures, they sent me home with a box of ibroprofen.

    I did no rehab, and rested for 3 months. I went back to karate, 2 months later same thing, same strain, i rested for 3 months and went back again to karate.

    6 Months down the line, same strain, maybe a little worse, required 3 months of rest, I stopped karate at this point.

    I then started my sport, and only during the strength traiing pullups chinups did i feel a pain in my back. I would rest for 2-3 days and continute, i just accepted something wasnt right and that was that.

    I eventually saw a physio, this was about 18 months ago, he didnt seem to interested and said i had a weak back on my left side and i needed to sort my posture out. He gave me some strengthening exercises.

    I wasnt making to much progress and i just gave up with the physio after 2 months it felt like he wasnt listening.

    Went back to my sport, just ignoring the pains resting for a few days/

    6 months ago, i saw a physio about my hamstring, he sorted me out with a nice program, and i mentioned my rib/back injury. He found a nice lump which i can clearly feel, he told me to work with it on a daily basis and said i need to strengthen my back. I couldnt afford to keep seeing him, a shame cause he was a good physio.

    At this point, my left hip started hurting, worse and worse, my hamstring was better, and i realised i had to sort this scar tissue out, and get a strong back!

    SO i saw an NHS physio, she assesed me 3 weeks ago, found the scar tissue, said my back was weak and sent me for a course of physio.

    Which brings me to today!

    I have hip pain and back pain after light swimming, running, and leg strengthening, and proglonded sitting.

    Heres where i get the pain:



    On a daily basis im really going at the scar tissue, after 2 months i feel there is a little less, its got less of a grip. But i do need some help with that.

    Sorry that was a long history.

    Currently, i am waiting for an NHS physio and am really strengthening my abs, leaving my back well alone.

    Any advice, strengthening, stretching, scar tissue tips, thoughts, anything, is very appreciated cause i dont see this NHS phyiso coming through for months....

    Thankyou very much in advice.

    Justin
