Hurt my back

[vracula]

deadlifting yesterday,it was the first time iincirporated barbell rows before deads ,was on my final set with a staggered grip when the bar tilted towards the left and i heard felt a crunch just above my tailbone,

Nearly blacked out from the pain .had a few nsaids and got some cold and hot therapy done last night.cant really bend at the waist and getting up and sitting down is not fun.will go to see doctor today any advice on getting me back to the gym asap?First real gym injury usually im more careful felt like superman yesterday! :pfft: turned out to be batman!

take it from me mate, you want to rest that back and forget the gym. do some proper rehab. ask your doc to refer you to specialist asap to speed things along.

Sounds like what Nickoli did. Physio & get it mobile before too much muscle spasm occurs. The early use of NSAIDS will have helped but dont stay on too long - you want to get the physio into it & use active recovery.

All the best.

went to the doc said it was just muscular damage gave me some morphine tabs and told me to lay off for a bitlike I had a choice lol.thanks for the advice guys.

did similar thing about 3 months ago still not right but chiro helped alot. What goes crack generally isnt muscle iMO. I would go to a chiro asap and get them to put you straight for a few sessions. Physio may help the muslce but if the spine is out you will get unbalanced then need to get it remedied later on anyway. It really takes the pain away really quickly. On a side note I partial deadlifted for 4 sets 100kg x 10 today so mine is slowly coming right.

Good luck and let us know how you get on

Hey vracula, did the doc give you a time period?? I've got a similar soreness after DL a week ago.

damn nuisance when you injure yourself. Like has been said, recovery, but I also wouldn't take the docs word as gospel, pays to get a second opinion sometimes. Unfortunately it takes an injury to take form seriously, too often we lift a little carelessly and think we're bulletproof. All the best.
