I do very intense Zumba classes at least 3 times a week. Usually in the middle of the class I feel strong, sharp pain in my left back area. I never had those pains before. It s not the usual pain from intense workout that you may have in your side. Should I be concerned?
Hello, I have studied your case. Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem. When such patient comes to my hospital we usually take x-ray spine to see for any nerve compression. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include-Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg. Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inches off the ground and supposition for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery.  Take care.
