Back pain

[streetsmarts]

So after a year plus of mostly regular riding, I get back pain. Anyone else deal with this? Recently, the doc prescribed some PT and -lo and behold- I need to spend some time doing core work. I’ve been doing it. Not every day but a few days a week.

I guess an especially strenuous ride exacerbates it? It didn’t hurt,for ex., after my long 50 (almost) states ride last week. But then today I rode 5 miles, including a tough hill, and then my back really hurt.

Keep working on the core? Go back for another bike fit? (First one was on another bike so I haven’t had this bike tweaked to those specs.

Or is it just…old age??!!

And do you still always wear a (bigass) backpack? If so, I have a feeling that’s not helping things

I had some back pain problems in the past too. When I moved to Auckland my good friend advised me to try new rehabilitation program here near me and I must say that physiotherapy really works. I completely forgot about the back pain. I think in such cases it is better to consult with the specialists who can make a diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment.
