Extreme Veteran  633   |  Subject: Slept on stomach last night - now lower back hurtsSo last night, I guess I slept through the entire night on my stomach. Woke up this morning in pain, but still went swimming. So is it safe to run and/or bike with an inflamed lower back? I mostly feel it in the left hip, so I must have had my leg turned out or something all night long... the pain sucks! So, safe to run/bike tonight? Isn't it about the same as sleeping in a bad position, and say your neck hurting the next day? |

I'm not going to suggest running or not running...but if you weren't training for a tri how would that change your decision? I frequently will try some light exercise if I'm having pain, most often swimming...but you'll have to learn to listen to your own body's signals. |
