Why Do I Feel Sore After Bending Over for a While?

Back pain may be related to prolonged sitting, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar spine diseases, and other factors. It is recommended to treat the symptoms accordingly.

1. Prolonged Standing or Sitting: If you maintain the same posture for a long time, such as standing or sitting for an extended period, your waist may experience insufficient blood supply, muscle tension, or vascular spasms. At this point, bending may cause pain, sometimes accompanied by limited mobility, stiffness, and other symptoms. It is recommended to move around every 40 minutes or so.

2. Lumbar Muscle Strain: Lumbar muscle strain can weaken the muscle strength of the waist. Bending may lead to local congestion and spasms, exacerbating back pain and symptoms such as prolonged sitting. It is recommended to combine work with rest. In severe cases, you can seek professional Chinese medical treatment, such as acupuncture.

3. Lumbar Spine Diseases: Various lumbar spine diseases can cause back pain, limited mobility, and other symptoms. For example, lumbar spondylolisthesis may worsen with bending, causing discomfort. Lumbar disc herniation or lumbar spinal stenosis can weaken waist muscle strength and cause symptoms such as nerve compression, exacerbating discomfort when bending. It is recommended to visit a professional orthopedic hospital for targeted treatment and consider surgery if necessary. Lumbar spine infections, bladder stones, or kidney stones may also cause bending pain during acute onset and progression. It is recommended to promptly visit a professional institution for examination and receive symptomatic treatment after diagnosing the condition.
