Any guesses on why this happens?

[Frackal]

My back, injured about a year ago, most likely lower lumbar pulled from the bone a bit, other damage in the oblique area.

It's 'healed' but it's still 'acts up' on leg day, back day and chest day because I have to drag heavy dumbells around.

Why is that? I mean in a physical sense. Is it still injured??? It's sore today, the pain will be gone tomorrow like always...

Any guesses???

Also, I think whatever is injured has been permanently elongated,
because when I move my leg on that side around, my lumbar always 'pops around,' doesn't happen on the other side...

Also, when I 'flex my ass' it crunches and crackles...echk...

Have you seen a chiropractor?

 

[Austin316]

That sounds fucked up. Just be very careful. Havbe you been to more than one doctor about this? Its best to get a variety of opinions

If it still hurts then it has not healed. Try 800 mg of ibuprofen after working out. There is a certain amount of pain that you have to deal with if you're going to lift weights. Maybe a few visits to the chiropracter would do some good. It usually helps me when my back starts hurting too much.

Do you feel pain down one or both legs too when it acts up?

 

[musclepump20]

Yeah, see a chiropractor if it still hurts or feels out of place. You can tell if a vertebrate is out of place usually by rubbing them with your finger and if its sore than go to a chiro. After they pop em back in to place, try to keep a natural arch (lower back curved in) in your back as much as possible, or they'll probably pop back out cuz the muscles are weak. Also do hamstring stretches, cuz tight hams pull the back out. I had this problem this summer. After a few days try to do some hyperextensions to strengthen your back. The best advice is to just have good posture as much as you can, especially lifting.

go to the doctor he''l do a medical imaging of some sort and then u will know for sure

there are a lot of ligaments down there so they might be getting stretched.

No, it's not the sciatic...I was guessing that it was just a mess of scar tissue back there. It's not a vertabrae out of place, but it could be a bone of some sort maybe, the pain goes directly up and down my lumbar though, with the worst of it orginating at the very bottom where it connects to the bone. Guess it's doctor time again.

Find a gym with a Reverse Hyper Machine Frack...it will work wonders....

This simple device allows for dynamic strength development in the concentric phase, while serving as a rehabilitation mechanism in the eccentric phase by gently stretching and depressurizing the spine and creating, in essence, an internal pumping mechanism, filling the spinal column with spinal fluid and the low back muscles with blood.

Anyone who has injured their back knows that the pressure needs to be relieved and circulation restored to the injured area in order to rehabilitate.

Interesting...I can't find a gym with one of those near me, because I have to use my current gym, (membership contract) but I bet I could make that somehow....any ideas of how? I've heard of that before, with positive results.

OF COURSE you've heard of it before. The last time you posted about your back problems I told you the same thing. You children are sooooo hard headed sometimes....hahahah

To improvise just take some 2x10's and lay them across the supports in a power rack. Make sure that it is high enough that your feet will not touch. Make sure that you keep your hips off of the boards. And really stretch the back by letting your feet go under your face...this is what opens up the disks and allows fluid in. For some added resistance put a dumbell between your feet. Higher reps for rehab...lower reps for power. Because it is so therapeutic...you can do them four times a week or more.

As a side note Louie Simmons invented the machine to help with rehab when he broke his back. He broke his back yet again...and they recommended fusing the disks...and told him that he would never lift again. Well he used the reverse hyper, along with accupunture and accupressure to make it back to the platform. So the same doctors that told him he would never lift again...had to see him squat 920lbs...@54 years young.

sometimes i crack walnuts in my asscrack and eat them.

Sometimes injuries take many, many months to heal up completely. Sometimes even years.

You gotta work around them and make the best out of this situation. If you are serious about training, you will have your fair share of injuries.

Stretch after training. Warm up thoroughly before training. Do these 2 religiously and you will be better off than someone who just walk into the gym and blasts out on the bench.
