Is Caffeine causing you backpain?

[John Galt]

I had started having increased back pain and stiffness in the lumbar a few months ago after a long period of very little pain. I racked my brain trying to figure out why I was getting more pain and finally realized that I had gone from drinking decaf coffee to regular coffee during this time.
I did a little net searching and apparently caffeine may tighten muscle tension as well as effect the adrenal glands. This is not good!

I then went back to drinking decaf and the pain subsided. I love coffee but I don't like pain so decaf it is for now but I'll probably quit that also to test how I feel off of decaf.

So if your a coffee drinker consider testing by cutting back some to see if you get any improvement in pain.

Best Wishes,
