About 4 days ago I was standing and my mid back slowly seized up/ spasmed- b painful - like almost vomiting pain painful at times..I can't really figure out what caused it which is worrying as I want to avoid it happening again.It seems like I've strained a deep vertical muscle in my back.
I've been trying to fihure out what caused it and all I can come up with is...I've had a few bad whiplash catapults in the last few months and had a non painful slow one the day before + I was bashing really badly in big chop ( not enough wind to get going fast enough to hang out off the board to avoid it).My harness is a 90's model Da Kine seat harness which has been great but sometimes doesn't sit tight enough or in the right spot. Been overdoing chiro exercises ?( did some afterwards and that was what caused the worst flareup).
Anyway anyone else had similar problems ( maybe from sailing ) and worked out what caused it and got around the problem? Hopefully it's a one off because if it's regular I might have to give sailing away ( or maybe big sails and trying new things..)
