Hi everyone. I went to the doctor yesterday because of some lower back pain I started having and the results of the X-ray showed my tailbone is out of line and is making contact with my spine. I also have a bone spur on one of my lower vertebrae. This is causing some really sharp pain through the day. I LOOOOVVVE doing squats and deadlifts but these are two workouts that give me the most pain. Before I went to the doctor I thought it was because my lower back was weak and I kept doing them thinking it would strengthen my back muscle but it was just adding to the injury. Another workout that I can't do are reverse crunches.
Can anyone give me some alternatives to these 3 workouts? I have 40 lbs that I need to lose and the doctor said it would probably help the alignment. I just got a treadmill so I plan on doing some walking/running but I want to keep using the weights.
Thanks in advance!
Stephanie
