Why would I have lower back pain after running?
You are actually a little bit underweight, just so you know. I am assuming though that you have not seen a doctor, I would say look into seeing if you fractured your Iliac crest. When this happens it will hurt where your pants would rest on your hips or where you may rest your hands on your hips. This is not the most common injury though, usually to fracture the Iliam crest your have to hit it off from something. It could also possible be your sciatic nerve with referred pain to your lower back. The sciatic nerve is much easier to damage, it could be over use, another muscle could be inflammed and rubbing up against the nerve the wrong way, or the nerve could be pinched at the sciatic notch by your periformus muscle in your hip. Now if you jumped your mileage to quickly when you started running than I would lean more towards the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve can make you hurt almost anywhere from your lower back to your ankle. I would ice the top of the nerve to give you some relief. To do that you will need 2 or 3 packs of ice. Put one pack in the small of you back, and the other 1 or 2 under your butt or off to the side where it is hurting. Only do the minum that you need to pass your gym class. Take it as easy as you can for the next week. I would say if it is still bothering in 2 weeks, go to the doctor. Preferebly an orthopedic or sports med doctor. If an X-Ray does not show anything and it continues to hurt go for an MRI or bone scan. Good luck.
Lower back pain when running?
The extra weight isn't helping but the real problem is weakness in your obliques. These are the stabilizing muscles to the sides and below where people get the 6-pack. They are essentially what holds your upper body up and if they are too weak then you end up supporting weight through your back which isn't what your back is for. To strengthen them try doing bridges, 100s and knee raises. There is some good reference material at these sites: http://online.chabotcollege.edu/kgrace/HPD/HPD.htm http://www.free-ab-workout.com/good-lower-ab-workout.html http://www.jillianhessel.com/article200310_cookinglight.html Even the easy exercises are probably going to be pretty hard in the beginning but set yourself a routine (5 minutes is plenty) and do it every day when you wake up in the morning. The results will come fast and your back pain will be gone in a few weeks. You'll also notice your posture start to improve :-)
Back pain after running on treadmill!?
I have never liked the treadmill but my favorite, the elliptical is broken at my apartment's gym, so I have started using the treadmill and I run 5-5.5 miles at about 4.5-5 mph. Anyway my back was killing as soon as I started running (I walked for 10 minutes first) but I continued because I thought it was maybe normal, and that I was kind of out of shape. After finishing my back was killing me and now today my back is still killing me, like my lower back by my spine is really hurting. Is it my running shoes or what? I recently started working out again the past week and I am like 5'4 and 113lbs so not overweight or anything. How do I resolve this
How can I treat upper back pain from running?
While it’s not uncommon to suffer from back pain due to a physical cause, your doctor will most likely recommend that you improve your posture.Standing, or even sitting, with poor posture can have a huge impact on the health of your back. Defining posture is simple – it’s just the way we hold ourselves as we sit, stand or even while lying down. If we don’t have proper posture, our bones and muscles will twist and become misaligned. That’s what causes back pain.By improving your posture, you can help to stop back pain before it even starts. And if you do already feel pain in your back, you can help to eliminate that pain.There are many ways by which back pain is caused by poor posture. Most commonly, you’ll be constricting your blood vessels and your nerves. In more extreme cases, you’ll actually be redefining the shape of your spine by repeatedly sitting or standing in an inappropriate position.By maintaining good posture, you can alleviate the pain you feel, and prevent back pain from happening in the future.Check out this helpful article I found that explains back pains more thorough and for the additional tips on how to cure them: Got Back Pain?

Pain in lower back after running hurdles?
I have a kind of sharp pain in my lower left back. It started when I first started hurdles, but now it hurts when I finish running too. It never hurts when I'm running or doing hurdles, but it hurts really bad when I'm finished. My coach says it might be because my lead leg (usually right) comes in to the left when I jump but I've fixed that since then and my back is still killing me. Any ideas? I have a track meet tomorrow and I would really like some help before then...

Lower left back pain after running hurdles?
Since you are right leg lead, and your left leg or foot hurts, it is probably a muscle strain, because you are not flexible enough to run the hurdles. You can try to stretch and use some massage or therapy to get your muscles loose so you don't have the pain. Ice after running can help.
