Hi All,

I'm having some lower back problems when I run and im looking for any advice anyone can give to help!

I run approx 3 miles a day, 5 times a week. Pretty much everytime i get around the 2 mile mark i start to get an ache right at the base of my back, when i try to run it off the ache gets rapidly worse, until eventually i get a sort of numb feeling in my left leg.

If i stop for a minute or so the pain eases off and i can usually complete the run without much discomfort.

Does anyone else get this kind of thing, and if so do you know any stretches or excercises which might help?

go and se a podiatrist this seems to be a Biomechanical problem wich will be affecting your hip rotators and my gues is that you have one leg shorter than the other and this will cause your foot plant to be uneaven and will cause problems elswhere if you dom't act now hope this helps
