I am fairly confident that I have an anterior tilted pelvis; I feel pain in my mid/lower back when doing situps/crunches with no burn in my abs; when I lay flat on the floor I can nearly run my arm completely under the curve of my back; the curve in my lower back is extreme, and I cannot lay back on my weight bench with my feet flat on the floor because it is painful, and so I have to bring my feet up. Whether this has anything to do with pain in my lower back when I breathe, I don t know (when I wake up in the morning, if I have been sleeping on my back, just the act of breathing is actually painful in my lower back). Does anyone else have this, or had it and corrected it somehow? I am tired of my back hurting so much, and not being able to properly work my abs. I have had back problems for many years--weak muscles that don t keep my spine in line being one issue, as well as some curvature; my left shoulder is higher than the right, and my right hip is higher than the left, and there is a complete shift from left to right. I need help!
Hi there. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query. Do you have any pain in your hips while moving them around or walking ? Are any of your legs short ? It appears got could be having a fixed flexion deformity of your hip due to possible hip problems. You need to avoid lifting weights and minimizing stair climbing. Kindly consult your Orthopedic surgeon in this regard as investigations like X-ray or MRI may be needed to confirm. I hope I have answered your query. Thanking you.
