I fucked up my back real bad tonight. HELP

[biteme]

I was doing squats in the garage and on my 5th rep, I felt my back give out on the way up. I don't know how I even got it racked. I immediately crumbled to the floor and struggled to get up for about 20 minutes. I can barely walk now and I feel that I might fall down at any time. Hurt it on the right lower side. I'm icing it and on the second round of aspiriin. I don't take anti-inflamm's because they're hard on the liver. I'm afraid I fucked it up pretty good. Wondering if I have a slipped disc.

dude, i don't think posting here is going to help. i think maybe a trip to the ER would help out if you're in agonizing pain. otherwise, doctor visit first thing in the AM.

I did something similar lifting shit at work one time...although I think your case is much more severe.



Rest healed it up for me.

No agonizing pain unless I move the wrong way or try to move too fast. I hate going to the doctor, but if I can't walk tomorrow, I guess I'm not gonna have much choice. Fuck, it's one injury after another these days. I may have to retire way too young.

I hurt it pretty bad doing a heavy leg press back in my mid twenties and I had to crawl on the floor for several days, but it eventually healed. This one seemed a little worse. I'm hoping for the best. If I had to be in traction in a hospital, I think I'd rather be dead.

how long ago did you do this?

5 p.m. All I can do is either lay down, or type on the computer. Laying down is too depressing, so here I am.

I stink and need to take a shower, but I don't think I could do it right now and if I go to the ER, They're just gonna leave me there and make me stay overnight, because I'm not dying. Fuck the hospital. I hate em. I'll just wait until tomorrow and if I'm in great pain, I'll go to a doctor.
