Like having to roll to the side and swinging your legs down just to get out of bed. Once, it was so bad I would stand when I went to Dr's office instead of sitting because it was too tough to get back up.
So ....I'm torn.....want to believe but, timing is so dang coincidental.
Seeing a specialist is probably best thing...time to run the scans and all that will show a problem if  there is one.
FWIW ....it would be hard for me to even think of several plane rides when I was suffering the worst ones.

The 'stach is strong in this one...it's all good. 

I tweaked my lower back doing elevated barbell deadlifts once (Probably about a good 4 inches off the ground standing on the box) at 275 pounds when I was younger and I was in moderate shape at around 230 pounds. I pulled the [BLEEP] out of something back there. Didn't feel a snap. It just felt like one of those really bad charlie horses' you get in the middle of the night in the back of your leg. Except this was in the back of my... back. 

I was maybe a few years younger than Jalen's age, so 22, 23?. Granted, I am no athlete by any means. Especially since doing this office gig. Just lost a lot of consistency and motivation to lift consistently. Been mostly focused on getting the house stuff done now with our first baby on the way. But at any rate. That [BLEEP] hurt. I didn't do any lifting remotely involving my back for a solid three weeks. And even then it was ginger and I had to deload a lot of weight off the bar. 

Just felt like a really bad pulled muscle. Didn't like sitting down, didn't like sleeping for too long because it would get "relaxed" and then it felt even worse. I don't know what his situation is. But if he's been dealing with it for a long time it's a bit of a surprise to most of us with us just now hearing about it. It's not like a slipped disc I guess. My dad had that happen to him when I was younger. Put him out for a month and some change.
