I was doing deadlifts about 2 weeks ago the next day i had this sharp pain in my lower right back by my hip. I cant massage it cause the pain is to deep inside my lower back/hip area. I cant do any exercise without being in pain. What should i do caues i realy dont want to go to the doc and its killing not being able to work out at fullforce.
I had the same problem I was doing deads too and I felt like a patato chip bag crunch in my back...The pain was in my left lower back and went down my left leg. It hurt to bend over and tie my shoes or bend over and do anything. It also hurt when I would get out of bed in the moringI decided to take 2 weeks off...No walking running or anything cuase your lower back is importaint in everything you do. This thursday will be day 14 and I am very happy to go bac kto the gym..I feel better but I wil lstart out light...If this doesn't work then as a last resort I will go to the Doc...Irecomend taking 2 weeks off and keep your diet clean...
Does Advil help? Aspirin? Shooting pains? Are you running gear? (If so, what kind and how much?)Quote:

So i took off at the the gym for around 2 days ended up reinjuring myself. How long do you think i should take of at the gym? Its killing me not to be able to workout!Quote:

Ice is the way to go, even for older injuries IMO. I raced motocross as a youngster and still have nagging pains and such from getting run over so many times. I still ice them and when the ice comes off: good he****g blood rushes into the area. Good stuff.Quote:

That's why you heat/stretch/ice if you're going to exercise despite the pain/injury and ice only if you're trying to recover.
Listen to Doc, anyone with back trouble becomes an expert pretty quickly or they can't function at all.
i hate to say it but your doc is grossly misinformed and dead wrong.Quote:

There you go - therapy with little or no work.Quote:
