A stingray weighing nearly 800lb is thought to be the largest freshwater fish ever caught by rod and line. It was so big that several men on board a small fishing boat had to take it in turns to help on the rod.
The hamstrings, a group of three muscles located in the back of the thigh, can contribute to lower back pain. So keeping the hamstrings properly stretched and limber is a good formula for relief of lower back pain or sciatica pain, which tends to run down one side of a leg. A regular routine of hamstring stretching eases tightness that generates stress on the low back. The hamstrings run from the pelvis down to the knee.
Stress and bad posture can also be contributing factors. Often the pain does not occur immediately after the injury, so the specific cause of the pain may not be apparent. Although back pain can occur anywhere in the back, it is most common in the lower back. Many back problems are relieved with time and rest. Heat or ice, gentle massage, and acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin can help ease pain.
