I'm hitting my lower back with reverse hyperextensions only at the moment. Much less stress on my back since It's much more an isolation move. If I can ge to the point of deadlifting with comfort again I will be greatful.@MMatt!
I was in a similar situation a while ago, only that I wasn't suffering for so long. I had serious back pain, like you describe it, despite my relatively young age. Two things that fixed this problem for me:
1. As mentioned a couple of times already, proper deadlifting had a huge benefit on my back in general. Since deadlifting regularly (it's been about 2,5 years now), I got rid of my regular pain and I am not affected by sitting for long hours anymore. During these last 2,5 years, I only had severe problems once, because I was wearing the wrong... SHOES.
2. Check your shoes. I had brutal pain and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Thought I did something wrong in the gym. The weird thing was that deadlifting actually made the pain go away (so no gym mistake). In the second week of pain I realised that the pain was connected to the shoes I was wearing back then. I threw them, got some foot orthotics and I am without pain since then.
I hope that helps and you get rid of the pain soon!
Unfortunately I've tried lots of shoes and orthotics without any real help.
Action has been taken daily since this post. Did some youtube research and have been doing a stretching routing for my back and hamstrings every morning and night since posting this thread. I'm even waking up 15 mins earlier every day to fit this in.
Avoiding sitting since it irritates my back.
Called and cancelled my chiropractor schedule.
Reverse hyperextensions whenever I am lifting.
Still looking if anyone has any specific stretches for the lower back. I feel most of my stretched in the mid and upper part of my spine where the pain is all lower.
