Severe back pain

[leatherface]

Ugh, I have another problem that is interfering with my training now. I woke up tuesday morning with some pretty bad back pain, almost like pinched nerves or something. The pain is in the middle of my back, right on my spine. It makes it a little difficult to breathe at times, and hurts tremendously when I try to turn my upper body. So i squatted tuesday, and it hurt like hell to bring my shoulder blades together, but i managed. I woke up yesterday and it wasn't QUITE as bad, but when i woke up today, it was like twice as bad. This ever happen to anyone? I dont know what triggered or, or even what it is but damnit it hurts this back day is in like 2 days

This happened to me a couple weeks ago... except the severe pain and muscle spasm happened while I was squatting. The first night I couldn't sleep at all because the pain was so bad. Mine was the middle of my back and the worst pain was on the right side along my spine. At the time, the muscles started spasming on both sides of my back. Went to the chiropractor... seems to have helped, but I had to lighten up on my squats a lot (which pisses me off). I had trouble breathing too, the chiropractor said it was from a subluxation of the head of my ribs. Feeling a bit better now, but it still hurts a bit to bring my shoulder blades together to hold the bar when I squat.

Hope you feel better!
