What type of pain are you feeling in both your back and knee?

A sharpe ian in my knee cap when doing burpees and a sore lower back in the same place i hurt it before. IDK how to explain what kind of pain it is, but it seems to hurt more when i sit and lay down than it does when im lifting boxes.

If/when it heals im going to start training my core more seriously and start stretching and doing yoga more often.

Back was still bothering me so i decided not to workout. I still had to go to work and my back felt weird all night. Instead of my lower back being sore, my upper and middle back was bugging me. It didnt really hurt but was more of weird feeling.

After work i did 45 minutes of stretching.

Knee- Rest it, it is probably a strained and inflammed tendon or ligament in your knee cap. RICE it.

Back- I'm assuming its muscular pain not that of the actual spine?

The knee only does it when i do burpees.

Wes...if you haven't already, I'd dig back a few pages in my log and read some stuff Sharla has written about the correlation of lower back and knee pain. Then into some of the links she referenced. I've been down this road before...and when she wrote that I had a major lightbulb moment. I had my lower back worked on recently by a sports therapist/chiropractor, as i did last year also...and again my knee pain went away. I do think there is a connection there for sure in the two, atleast in my situation, as was also with Sharla...which tells me it is likely a more common thing then many of us realize.

Thanks Youngblood. My knee isnt really a problem, i think i was just jumping weird while doing burpees. My back is sore cuz of work. I need to work on my core a lot more and start adding stretching sessions more often.

Ive been toying around with this site all day to see how many calories, protein and fats im actually eating during this bulk. This was a bad day to start cuz i ate some garbage at a buddies house but oh well, ill be back to better eating tomorrow.
