Author Topic: I just destroyed my back (Read 13223 times)

Bossa · « **on:** August 23, 2011, 11:53:54 AM »

So today I was doing deadlifts and i was working my way up in weight and on one of the sets (that was not anywhere near max) as I began to pull it off the floor i heard/felt a pop in my lower back. I immediatly dropped the weight and was on the floor. I took a couple of aleve and let the water run on my back in the shower. Anyways its been a couple of hours and its bearable when i am standing or walking but if i sit down the pain is terrible. I don't have any pins and needles or pain down my legs so I don't think I slipped a disk.

Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with this?

can't diagnose you without you letting us know what the amount of weight you were deadlifting first

Its just a Muscle Strain. Take a Tennis ball and put it on the ground. Then position yourself on the floor with the spot on your back right on the Tennis Ball and roll on it pretty vigorously for about 15 minutes or any time. You probably will feel your lymph nodes swell up a bit. It will take you probably about 2-4 weeks to recover totally, but you will be as good as new.

I did this once during deadlifts and had to lie down in the gym before I could finally get up and hobble out.

I went to the doc and he said I'd be better in a week. The pain I was in, I didn't believe him. But he was right!

(no working out that week)

Hope it turns out likewise for you. Get well soon!

I did the same thing about 13 years ago. Kept pushing and pushing and finally heard the pop and could barely walk out. I didn't rupture the disc but at least once a year it will swell and put me just about completely out of commission.

So who won that tilt, you or newmom?

Dr Dutch · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2011, 12:32:29 PM »

Listen to Dr. Dutch......

It´s acute lumbago, probably the quadratus lumborum. Forget about heavy lifting for a while, do not try to `train around it` to soon. Taking antiinflammatories is a good idea, but be carefull with `a few aleves`, it´s bad to take more than the max. dosage. Some antispasmolytics like valium can be good as well. It´s better to stay moving with painkillers than to stay immobile without them.
Heat-cold showers may feel good but won´t do anything to speed up the healing. Massage won´t help either, shitting around with tennisballs is oke if you want to look like an idiot, but are useless too.
Take care !
