Back pains.

ELtim · 05-08-2007, 01:36 AM

When I drive for any time over half an hour i get a pain in the middle of my back.

Anybody got any ideas on how to stop it or what it might be?

hav u got ur seat adjusted proply? lot of mates hav seats rite back n hav fukd baks! i wonder why.......

Yeah. It's set properly. I don't do the whole "looking cool" thing in my car. I drive safely. Nothing impresses chicks more than a guy who's responsible.

Sounds like you have no support in the middle back section, and your lower back is sinking back into the chair, you can buy inflatable back bolsters from most auto shops ( if you dont have them in your seat ).

That sounds like the most likely problem.

Thanks. I'll put a pillow behind me tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

Would that be the lumbar support?

I have that in my base model AU2. Not that I ever use it.

DOC is correct. This is what's happening to your back:

i find ford territorys seats are crap but my 1980's sedan i drive has better shaped seats

mad cow · 05-08-2007, 08:04 PM

it may not be your seat at all, i get the same problem and all i do is so see a sports massage specialist/muscle manipulator, it should cost between $20 and $60 and will make a world of difference, it sounds as though you have a muscle which has twanged out of place.
