So last week the surf was great. I had a new board that was checking all the boxes. My shoulder and neck would be throbbing with pain by the end of each session. On Thursday I knew what was coming and took two advil before surfing. My back was not creating any problems surfing but was mildly sore in the evening. I'm used to this now as it's been three years and I've come to expect it. My neck/shoulder will be the main thing happening while surfing but the next day it's always gone so I'll go ahead and surf again.
But then Thursday night my low back was unusually sore. Friday is my barbell day but my back was still so sore I figured I'd wait a day. Yesterday, my back was still sore but I said fukkit and went ahead and started. I realized before I started my DLs that it was not a good idea. Last night and this morning I was getting crippled by spasms, my worst flare up since my inital "injury."
Do you guys with back issues train in pain? How do you know how much (pain) is too much and you should refrain? I for sure made it worse yesterday.
Only other thing I've changed recently is I'm doing more and faster stair climbs at the turn around on my four mile runs.
