Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 Supertrainers, Quite by chance I had an Xray taken of my lumbar vertebra on Weds (it was part of a boy scout activity). As we discovered, my L4 and L5 are not parallel (closer to each other on the spinal cord side) and close to pinching the disc. The L5 and sacrum touch each other. So L4, L5 and the sacrum make a tight " C " . The others are nicely parallel. The guy that took the xray said " I didn't know you had back problems. " I didn't know either...never had any pain. He's a chiro, and immediately recommended treatment and for me to quit doing squats, overhead presses, and anything else that is fun. And I had just added deadlifts to my routine and was working on going deeper in my squats. Any advice please. Brett Draper, UT Quote
