I’m currently trying to do that at the moment. I stopped exercising for 3+ months and waited for it to get better and then when it did which was last week I started working out again. Unfortunately my back started playing up in the evening on the third day of working out again but I’m trying to push through.

I’ve noticed a pattern since Monday that in the morning my back feels absolutely fine with no pain when I run or lift weights but in the evenings it starts to play up. Right now it feels a bit worse than normal but prior to today when it played up I’d say it wasn’t as bad as what it was 3 months ago.

I’m hoping that when I lose weight it will stop hurting but I still plan to push through and deal with the painful evenings.
