I have had debilitating back pain when I have full tilt anger (bad drivers or fights). I can lift and train just fine but when I have unchecked anger (think fight no flight) I get severe back pain that completely freezes me up. It is paralyzing pain in my lower back. I do have a bad disk but I dont think thats it. Anyone else ever get this? It usually subsides after 5-10 minutes.

Spasms from unintentionally tensing?

Regardless, lower stress is longer life my man.

I might be muscle spasms but Ive had those before and this is alot more painfilul. I was reading up on it (I know I know dont go to the web for medical advice...) and some think it might be the body producing too much adrenaline and not being able to process it properly.

It's super common for people to carry stresses in back and neck pain so it's not a big stretch for anger to cause it.
Having it be a short term and severe is a bit odd though

You just need to let your rage flow freely and not keep it pent up inside you

Back pain is horrible, hope you can get it sorted op.


Maybe some heavy bag work will release the tension?

Smoke a doob and get a tinder bj instead of getting that mad bro. Thats some serious anger issues if it happens enough that you know what causes it.

Deep breathing~ exhale slow. Do this very slowly for about 10 times when u're angry and focus on the sensation of oxygen passing in n out through the lips, roof of your mouth, and into the lungs. Before u know it, ur heart rate is back to normal and your brain has produced melatonin and some endorphins.

I know it's the last thing u think about when u're angry but give it a try, it works for me.

If u're not driving, another good technique to incorporate is visualizing. As you're doing the breathing, visualize something calm, like the waterfall or something.

^ forgot to mention, as u breathe in deep, ur posture fixes itself and your back pain should disappear.

That's got to be the worst super power I've ever heard of.

Anyway, yes I've heard of this and have a possible solution. Haven't we had this discussion before? Oh well, I'll post it again. I get back pain but I manage it quite well. I injured my back and it would tighten up and spasm to protect itself. This continued even after the injury was healed. So I started to ignore it and just do the movements I wanted to do. It went away pretty quickly, like a couple of weeks.

I read John E Sarno's book about it. He claims a lot of back pain is emotional based. I think he goes a bit too far and hosts group discussion meetings and shit for it. I'd say just do what I did and ignore the pain (as best you can) and move your back around when it happens.
