Basically im 25, and fairly fit and healthy. recently ive started getting lower back pain when ever run for a while and when im playing hockey (yes i know its a girls sport!).
i cant think why its suddenly started happening and im trying anything i can think of to prevent it - but nothing is working.
any suggestions folks? its really starting to get me down!

try hamstring stretches. i know it sounds funny, but tight hammies can yank your pelvis down just enough to give you a REALLY sore lower back.
i went to about 4 physios before a rugby playing mate told me to try it. now stretch before and after riding, no problems since. even back on the bmx! weeee!
thats interesting tracknicko, i'll be giving that a try. any particular hammy stretches or do they all do the trick?
ummmm. now im not an expert but no. i just go for anything that gives that 'wrenchy' back of the leg feeling and go from there.
been off the bike for four months after smashing my knee. but was working for me before that!!!
i got my pain from riding bikes that were too small for me out of interest. not getting full elg extension so tightening hams up...
