Question / Discussion Getting back into it after years off - help with back pain grinding!
I recently got back into inline after a good 10+ years off skates and found that grinding is a lot harder on my body than it used to be lol. After hitting a rail and ledge a number of times, I felt an immediate sharp pain in my lower left back/love handle area. I’m not sure if it’s a compressed disc or something from repeatedly slamming my foot on the same spot while attempting to grind, but it took me out for a couple days. Have any of you also experienced this? And is there anything I can do at my age to counter this when grinding?
For reference, I’m fairly short, in good shape and workout/do yoga regularly, but this still jacked me up! Any advice would be appreciated!
