<s>[INST] hi, my name is Eliana and i developed lower back pain for the last 2 months. i have seen a quiropracter and acupuncturist and the pain is better but i am doing my excursuses and started doing push ups 3 times a day 10 of those and now i have severe middle back pain. is that because of the push ups? [/INST] Push ups at this stage definitely costs you with severe pain in middle or lower back. Stop exercising and start just physiotherapy after taking a short rest of 3 to 5 days. Dont go for push ups until pain is relieved. </s>
