Why is my lower back muscle on my left side not as developed as my right? What can I do for it?

Haha! You're weird. No, seriously... have a trainer look at it and recommend exercises for that side of your back. Are you in a profession where you "favor" one side over the other? (Digging, for example.) That might explain it. Or you could get to a doctor for an evaluation just to ensure that both sides of your body are in synch. I'm thinking of scoliosis, but that's just a guess.

Your colon is more to the left side.  You may just need a good cleansing to get rid of all the fecal matter that is built up in it.  Try a good laxative and see if it makes a difference.  It can't hurt.

I have bad lower back pain, too.  A chiropractor is the best treatment for that, if you have time to go.  I take advil every four hours and that helps and resting on a heating pad.  My doctor also says to put a pillow under my legs when I'm laying down.  There are exercises to do but you would have to go for physical therapy to learn the best way to do them.  Years ago my doctor referred me to "Back School".  It's only a temporary help.  A chiropractor has a massaging machine that massages your back with heat.  It's great.

Lower back pain is caused by weak abdominal muscles.  Muscles work in pairs--one contracts, the other works. Your abs and your lower back are such a pair.  When your abs are weak, your back has to do more work, and therefore it's stressed and hurts.\nHowever there are MUCH better ways to strengthen your abs than these silly machines they sell on TV.

It sounds like you have a titled pelvis.  Have you had your spine checked?  There might be a chance you have scoliosis,\n\nScoliosis is a lateral (toward the side) curvature in the normally straight vertical line of the spine. The normal spine curves gently backward in the upper back and gently inward in the lower back. When viewed from the side, the spine should show a mild roundness in the upper back and shows a degree of swayback (inward curvature) in the lower back. When a person with a normal spine is viewed from the front or back, the spine appears to be straight. When a person with scoliosis is viewed from the front or back, the spine appears to be curved. \n\nMy injury is from a car accident I don't know how you got yours.  Continue the regimen to lose weight that always helps as well as walking it will ease the pain. \n\nI am not sure if you afraid of needles you can try accupuncture, deep tissue massage and reiki massage as well as a chiropracter. \n\nIf you've already spoken with your dr and that's all the advice he's given you.  You need to see another dr.  You need to see another one and get a second opinion\n\nI don't know what type of insurance you have but you can make appt and get referrals remember your paying for the insurance your not dr and it just seems that's his thing weight weight weight.. blah blah.  I had one of those and punched him and got another one.

Your back could be out of alignment, it could possibly be sciatica from sleeping in a weird position or on a bad mattress. Do you have pain or weakness any other time? I think you should ask a doc cuz unilateral weakness can be a warning sign for something bad.

I do one of two things when my lower back starts to hurt that may help you.  Flip your mattress if you haven't in awhile.  You can also lay on your back on the floor and try to flatten out your back by pressing the small of your back into the floor.  You could also try getting a massage or visiting the chiropractor.  Hope you feel better!

The muscles have a certain muscle tone (partial contraction) which keeps the body upright instead of limp. This is all your muscles, not just in your back. However, your back does have the long muscles running down your spinal chord (the name escapes me currently which makes me sad). Also, your leg muscles will partially contract to keep your legs upright.\n\nUnless you're dead, medicated, or paralyzed - your muscles will always have a partial contraction (aka tone).

I have noticed the same thing with my memory foam bed. I guess they aren't for everyone.\n\nI would try a warm bath or a heating pad or even one of those therma care patches.\n\nAs dumb as this may sound - you might be constipated. Lower back pain on one side can be a sign of that.

ummm...its probably because ur right hip flexer is a bit more tense than ur left. Do thigh, calve and hip flexer stretches regularaly...and all will work out.

Try wearing a back support that you can buy at wal-mart or any decent pharmacy,   see if this helps with the pain.  \nImportantly, you should see a doctor, to make sure you don't have a more serious problem, involving your lower back.  \nIf you are healthy, you might try stretching exercises, and sit ups, to strengthen your lower back muscles.

There are two points: \n    First, do you have disease with your back? If do.I think you should see your doctor and take proper medicine.\n    Secondly,if you are healthy and just sometimes feel backache, probably,you just lack of body exercise.And if you are a person who always have many work to do, probably, you just a little too tired,you need more rest.\n    Do you know? When you lack of body exercise and often in a same posture for a long time , your muscle will become nervous.Maybe you are an office person,often sit there and work on your paper or computer.Then you need more body exercises of the part above waist.It will help.Have a try,it will work.

If you recently started working out it's probably a pulled muscle. But if it's getting worse instead of better you need to see a dr.

Try applying a heating pad to the area.\nIf that doesn't help, then you have no other alternative,than to see a doctor of osteopathy.(D.O.)     They specialize in bones.\nIt is possible you may have a slipped disc. The weight of pregnancy or during labor could have caused this.\n\nI know you hate seeing doctor's, so try the heating pad and see if that helps.\n\nYou MAY be doing excersizes that are not lower back friendly.  That would certainly aggrivate it.  I hope you have a lisenced trainer that's working with you.  If you DO have one, well, it's not working.\n\nThere are certain excersizes just for back pain.  Usually it's lower back pain, due to weak lower back muscles.\nIs that in fact what you're working on, in the gym?\n\nIf you absolutly refuse to see a doctor, consider an icy/hot patch and some tylenol 500mg.  \n\nI doubt that it's due to weak lower back muscles, since you carried a baby's weight around with you for months.  It could also be sciatica.  The sciatic nerve could have been aggrivated at ANY time.\n\nI hope this helps and that you feel better soon.

Ok, i dont know how to spell it but it's your sciatic (umm...sigh+attic for pronounciation) nerve....muscles in your lower back are swollen and are rubbing against it when you move just the right (or wrong is more like it) way.  if it goes away after you sleep or dont move for a long time then you probably just need to make sure you lift correctly and dont strain your lower back, if it's a constant issue i'd suggest seeing a chiropractor.....sorry for the horrible spelling, but  i think you know what i mean :)

First of all there are no exercises which will effectively decrease the curvature of your spine, or prevent it from getting worse.  All you can do is to strengthen the trunk muscles that support the spine.\n\nAs a physical therapist who has treated many back patients and a good amount of scoliosis patients (as well as having scoliosis myself) I would recommend that you do lumbar stability exercises.  I've attached a link to a good site with a few good stability exercises to get you started.  As you progress you might also want to consider doing pilates or yoga, both of which will help to strengthen your back muscles.
