I was deadlifting on fri and while deadlifting I felt a pop in my left side lower back.went home and have been using moist heat,muscle rub ,Advil and anti inflammatory for 3 days but it still hurts,real stiff and I keep getting spasms.any help please would be great,thanks.
After 3 days and no relief I agree I would go to dr and see about the MRI. I waited way to long to go myself thinking I could tough it out and it would get better, all I did was suffer. Alleve seemed to work best as far as OTC goes. Hope you feel better
Whenever I heard a pop in my back and got back spasms, I went to the chiropractor and had excellent luck. Ask your friends who is a good chiropractor because they are not all created equal -- some are excellent and some are not.
I was doing heavy t-bar rows and hurt the right side of my lower back. A day or so later I developed severe sciatica pain that lasted two months. I don't have insurance, so I gutted it out.
