I am a 57 year old guy. For several days now I have felt stiff in in the waist area. It is difficult to bend down.

Is there any cause or remedy for this?

Im a year older and I get that. I started some exercises where I lie flat on the floor and then raise my leags and head and shoulders at the same time, forming a sort of crescent. This helped me when I did it for several times a day for a few days. It probably muscle strain. BUT, I am required by law to tell you that you should go to a doctor who knows what he or she is talking about and let them tell you to lie flat on the floor and raise your head and shoulders and legs simultaneously at the same time.

Try a hot water bottle on the area.

Have you been lifting, twisting, or stretching lately?

" very gentle " swimming or even walking in a swimming pool works best for me to give me better joint movement .
have been slacking off lately ... sure can feel it in my body ... should be in the pool or at least walking rather than sitting at the computer !
i'm off now ... it's sunny but cool at the eastern end of lake ontario ... about 10 C = low 40's F ... need a warm but light jacket .
