Cant do situps or crunches - Wednesday, July 05, 2006 8:42 PM ( #1 )
When i start doing crunches or situps my lower back starts to hurt. It hurts from the first one on up to the last. Sometimes it even hurts when i get up or out of chairs. It better not be age, im only 13! This majorly sucks, i shouldnt be in pain like this! I need help, i went to the doctor and she gave me things to do for it like excercises and stretches but i cant because doing them hurt so much. Anyone else experience pain like this?

jakej,
 
I have found great relief from the pain you described by finding a good chiropractor, but I am 30 years older than you! I would go back to your doctor or find another one. That sounds like a lot of pain for someone your age.
 
I hope you find an answer and start feeling better soon.
 
With respect

Im seriously thinking about a chiropractor. I went camping this weekend and now my back is twitching and throbbing.

watch your form, engage the transverse abs by pulling the bellyl button into the lower back throughout the exercise.........
