Skimmed to the end, I will go back and read responses tomarrow.

I just paid $650 for an MRI to find out WTF was going on with my back. One wrong move and I could barely breath let alone move.

It turned out to be a bulging disk between my L1 - L2.

I asked what my long term plan should be and doctor said strong trunk. I need to develop my abs and obliques. He also said pot belly is forbidden. Every 10 lbs I gain will be 10X more pain.

We meet again Monday to look at the actual MRI and not the report. Then he will give me stretching exercises and trunk exercises to do.

Go to a doctor, at the very least get an x-ray and possibly an MRIand see what exactly you have going on.

Good luck.
