Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain

I do marathons, my body is used to long distances but lately, last three weeks, after just two or three miles the right lower portion of my back starts to hurt badly. I have to stop and stretch. This morning was four miles and i can barely sit, stand or walk right now. What's wrong?

Hi,
You probably have sprained back and a locked facet joint in the spine. Take rest. Visit a physio so he can mobilise the facet joint. Also you need core strengthening. Use proper footwear and gradually return to the sport.
