INJURED!!!!!!!, help guys i'm in pain.

[Cubanito17]

Hey guys I lifted this morning it was a ME SQ/DL day for me. So I started off by doing good mornings for triples and ended there. Before my meet in st pete my best good morning was 195 for a triple. So of course I did that today and I felt I could have done more but just in case I asked my bro to spot me/encourage me. So he came over I loaded 205 on the bar and went for my first it went up kinda slow but good when I went down for my second one I wasn't tooo sure if it was coming up and then I heard and felt a snap in my lower back my bro heard the same thing freaked out and said "OH SHIT" he helped me rack the weight then I immediately fell to the floor, it hurt so bad I couldn't bare standing up. I don't know what happened but my lower back just snapped so he brought over a bench for me to lay down on, I started seeing blury and like blue and gold stars (i'm not kidding i'm dead serious about this). I don't know he started askin me if i wanted for him to call 911 and i said no no fuck that then there wasn't anybody else around b/c it was at the gym at our school and no one is there until 3p.m. but I have to work late tonight so i went early. Well now the pain is enough for me to bare with, but I don't know what to do. tomm is an off day for me, but what should I do now. I've thought of some choices either go to the chiropractor but then he's gonna tell me I have to quit lifting and I"m not gonna listen to him so it makes no sense in me going. Is there anything I can take to make this better I already took 2 ALEVE. in 4 hours i'll take another 2. Is there any type of treatment I can do to make this better. ANYONE PLEASE HELP I'M IN PAIN.

Hey, I hate to here that man. My younger brother did the same thing yesterday morning. Only difference was he was squating. He was at school too. They took him to the doctor. I'm not really sure what they said he did but they gave him some pain pills that seemed to help some. He was having trouble sitting, standing, everything hurt him. I think its just going to take time. If you think its bad enough, go to the doctor. Schools insurance should cover it too!!!

 

[Cubanito17]

Well i'm trying to set up an appointment with the chiro. I know the school should cover it but they only cover it if they were warned about it. And since I didn't tell anyone b/c there was no one there and we aren't suppose to be in the weight room without supervision it's better that I let my insurance take care of it depending on how costly it is. As of now I'm able to walk(partially) stand only for a lil and sit only for a little, I feel best when laying flat on my stomache.

I feel bad for your brother sorry, trust me now I can say I know how he feels( I'm feeling it).

 

[Grantsdu]

Have you but any ice on it? It couldn't hurt!!

 

[Cubanito17]

No I havn't b/c since I lifted this morning i came home and couldn't stand the pain anymore so i went took a shower and then called the chiro. And now they just called hopefully i can go i'll let you know in a few.

 

[Cubanito17]

The chiro said he's open at 2 p.m. so until then i'm fucked and I have to wait.

I can't say I hate goodmornings b/c they're a great low back excercise but holy shit if they fucked me for the rest of my life I HATE THEM.

damn - that sucks man. only thing I would say is that if there was an snap loud enough for your brother to hear, and you're still in pain, take it seriously - by that I mean an orthopedist, not a chiropractor. nothing against chiropractors, but this could be real bad, or a symptom of a spinal problem - something not to take lightly.

Was your form proper? If it was than i really feel for you if it wasn't well...still...but not as much.

Go to the Doc and do whatever he/she recommends. Better not lift now for a while and do some therapy than rip your back and have some permanent damage. Trust me I know, because of a longterm back problem I can't squat like I should be able to(weight wise). If I would have taken care of it when it first happened I would be fine now and putting up ALOT bigger numbers now.

 

[GRIMMER]

Where did it snap. I would take this seriously man. Put some ice on it NOW and call a real sports physician. Its not gonna kill you but you need to get it checked out ASAP.
