Lower back hurts riding in the Z?

wdkwang · 02-11-2011, 03:31 AM

ya i've tried multiple times adjusting the seat settings but i haven't found a setting that alleviates it. i don't notice the pain until i'm relaxed back in the house sitting down. i understand the purpose of the seat design; i just can never quite feel comfortable enough.

Is it possible your back was sore/hurt to begin with? My back was only slightly bothering me when I first got the Z and I noticed after driving the Z and several days after driving it each day it got really bad. It actually got the point I had to go to the doctor for it but I eventually found that the Z was just causing additional pain on my already hurt back. Once my back completely stopped bothering me I never had problems with back pain while driving the Z (or after driving it) after that.

What kind of backpain was it, and how did you cure it? I do some heavy lifting in the gym so that can add to the back strain. I'll agree with you on your point. Whatever you did to alleviate your back, let me know, cause I don't want to end up resenting the car just cause of my back.

Basically it was me taking large doses of aleve (the generic form). I think it was equivelent to 2 or 3 aleve every 4 hours for several days until my problems went away.

I originally took some ibprofin but I was told by the doctor that for back pain like I was having I really needed to be taking atleast 4 at a time every 4 hours.

When I get home I can maybe look exactly what the prescription was but it was something I could get over the counter.
