Belly weight is leveraged over the spine and pulling on the spine can throw it out of alignment, putting stress on those vertebrae and muscles which go into the spasm.

Good luck.
I have had it since I was a kid.

May have to get it stabilized with surgery, but not soon.

I'm only 150 lbs, and do about 9 miles every other day. It was just 2 times when I must have made a slight movement, and then my lower back was killing me for about 3 days.

I can tell you Vita, it is more likely you glutes and hams, especially with the running you do. Very common, under diagnosed issue.

I will share a secret of what I use. A lot of body builders use this as well and I will tell you it works almost instantly. My Chiropractor couldn't professionally tell me it's ok to use but off the record he recognized that it works and is potent. It's like a bio-freeze for horses with sore muscles called Absorbine / Horse Liniment. I know you can find at Tractor Supply Co. they may also sell it at Pets Mart.

how often is it safe to use ?

I used it everyday twice a day for like 4 months straight and had no side effects. Like I said my chiropractor couldn't officially endorse it's use but he did give me an unofficial wink and a nod.

Just google "is absorbine safe for human use" and you'll find all kinds of advice with the overwhelming majority in favor of.

Here's a good article on it. Apparently it's widely used throughout Europe by horse jockeys and different sports teams.
