Yeah, so recently I went to the hospital to get my lower back checked out due to some intense feeling of pain I have been feeling.

Turns out that one of my "discs" in my lower back has managed to move out of place.

I have been told by the doctors to do no boxing or any sort of physical activity that involves my twisting, turning, bending, any kind of **** that involves the back...

Me, I don't like not doing anything and want to continue my boxing training as safely as possible.

Do you guys know any type of workout I can do while on this back pain?

Like, and alternative body part that I can work on while my back heals..

Thanks alot for the help.

Yeah that sucks, back problem caused me to originally give up boxing when I was younger. Best to get it right before you push it. Try swimming.

Quitting boxing is the last thing on my mind, there is no way in hell this ***** ass back pain will make me quit doing what I love.

In response to your post, don't you have to use your waist and back to move in the water as well as your legs and arms?

I don't know anything about that but I wish you the best man. I recently took a month and half off of boxing and I literally felt depressed. So do whatever doc tells you to do and get it right, disc problems and shoulder problems for boxers are no joke.

Yeah, I will try not to strain myself, but I kind of have the same thing your mom has.

My pain is intense for about a week, but I can still function.

Once I take time off, the pain goes away.

So I guess all i need is some R and R.

My point is that you need to let it heal fully before boxing training again. My problem was that I kept training and thought I could speed up the healing process as I was close to the state titles but I just made it worse, though it healed eventually and I had a couple of fights years later.

Swimming should be okay because your body is supported, but obviously dont push it hard, maybe just breaststroke or running on the spot in the water. You can only try.

I am going through the same thing. I have not trained for 3 weeks( it sux). My wife convinced me to go to a chiropractor and it did help.

It is frustrating for sure, but you and can recover if you listen to your body and work smart.

I am going to work like an animal on my abs and flexibility( many people would argue back pain starts with weak stomach muscles and poor range of motion in the back). I will also take my time before i go full speed again.

Yeah^

This **** IS frustrating.

I see other people running and training and i can't do ****!!

I feel like I am gaining more weight everyday cuz I eat normally and do nothing after, wtf.

Doctors say that I am gonna be sent to a chiropractor, hopefully I get better before next month, cuz that's when the training will commencen for the school club.

Basically I wouldn't do any physical activity. Pretty much everything you could possibly do would in some way involve your back.

Any idea how it happened or what you did that caused it?

Do you do any exercises to strengthen your lower back?

At the risk of sounding like a vegan hippie 60's flower power dude, I can personally attribute the benefits of yoga. Make sure it is not power or Ashtanga yoga, considering how much of a workout that is at first.

But other styles are a isometric hold involved with a stretch. It makes you more limber and strengthens the needed muscles in the correct way, form, and posture.

If you had the ability to try out a class with a WELL TRAINED/CERTIFIABLE individual, it might help you as it has me.

Hi,

I had some years ago severre problems with my lower back, too. I suffered disc hernia, could barely walk and not bend at all. I started with regular physiotherapy, it took around 6 months, but slowly got better. After finishing physiotherapy sessions, I started strengthening my core muscles - abdominals and spinal erector in the weight room and continued doing some physiotherapy exercises and stretching every day. That everything togethet alloed me to go back to the sport and now I can train boxing at the age of 46 !.
So, the key is to work out regularly your core muscles - abs and spinals erectors, but train the whole back, too.
Good luck
