Posted on Tue, 2 Aug 2016

Question: I am not able to bend sideways beyond 30Â°. my side waist has become very tight. I am not sure, if it's the fat got hard, or anything else...
I used to be flexible before I left exercising 3 months ago.

Hello,
I have studied your case. Back stiffness can be due to muscle spasm.I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.Do you have history of weight lifting or sudden bending?
