Low back pain for the first time in my life

Probably just getting old
Could have easily done something playing basketball
Likely tight hamstrings or tight hips

But can’t shake the feeling it’s kidney stone :(

Where exactly is the pain? Worse with movement? Hurt around flank into groin?

Probably just getting old, which is arguably worse because it never gets any better.

I started having occasional lower back pain in my early 30s and it has yet to develop into anything serious. Sometimes there's nothing obvious that sets it off; just a few times a year out of the blue I have lower back pain, tingling down the left leg, etc. So far every time a couple of days of Advil and rest has been able to knock it back, although I find that walking (on a relatively flat surface) helps. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it, which is frustrating as hell but seems to be the baseline for being past your prime.

My kidney stone was lower left abdomen, not back. If i was a betting man (anymore) I'd say it's not a stone. But I could be wrong.

Trouts contract is technically 10 years/$364M (the final two years of his contract make is the 12/$430M) but still hilarious Bryce had the biggest contract for two weeks

Don't know how much physical activity you are into (or would even want to get into) but a key piece to me is regular trips to a chiropractor. I go pretty much every 2 or 3 weeks, not because of any pain but just for maintenance really. Approaching 40 and so far nothing really significant to speak of relating to my back while maintaining a schedule that throughout most of the year includes 3 to 4 gym trips and 1 or 2 days playing soccer per week. Have a no proof that is directly related to the chiropractor trips but I know I ain't gonna change something that ain't broke.

My bottom three discs are as flat as a pancake. I was having serious pain and issues and a buddy referred me to his chiropractor. I’ve been anti-chiropractor all my life because I felt like it was a band-aid for a larger problem, but I finally gave in and went. It made a huge difference for me. They put me on a decompression table, which stretches your spine out and allows the discs to rehydrate, as well as electric stim and adjustments. Well worth it IMO.

Listening to Snitker’s interview on 680, he sounds like he and the org have decided to ride the young pitchers and see what they have there before moving forward with trades.

I bet Snit has as much say as you and I.

That’s why we don’t get a real managers.

I’m not so sure. I’m sure he doesn’t get any decision making powers but I’d have to imagine they value his (and the rest of the staff’s) input when it comes which guys have the “stuff.”

But even if you think he’s just saying what the org tells him to say, that interview was interesting nonetheless.

On top of that, I just don’t understand their approach here. In a lot of cases it takes years to find out who these “young guys” will be at the MLB level. So I guess we are just gonna sit here and deal with growing pains for guys that may or may not have it for the next few seasons lol. Even the young arms that have it won’t be pitching 200 innings for a while.

Seems to me that AA, is afraid to make the wrong move or handicapped. JMO.
