I've just started exercising (very unfit and in sedentary job) and when doing jumping jacks, I get a really bad pain in my lower back and on the top of my knee.
Back pain is a spasm and is stopping me from fully extending my arms, knee pain is more of a shooting pain that kicks in when I land back on the ground, not as severe and I can work through it, but persists after the workout.
Can someone advise whether this is normal and it's safe for me to work through this, or should I be talking to NHS Direct/GP? Thanks.
