i posted this in the weight training section too...where is the best place to post to get some advice on who is the best to go see?

sounds like a simple sprain/strain...but to rule out anything more serious go to a chiro. Till then take it easy and throw some ice on there

thanks...i'm going to the chiro friday morning...till then i'm not going to lift...i'm just hoping it's nothing more serious...i'm worried because i could feel something shift/tear/move not sure how to describe it..

I have my own theory when it comes to lower back injuries, Once injured, it will never be the same again~! just my .02

Thanks alpha...that's exactly what i didn't want to hear... having injured my shoulder and never fully recovered despite tons of treatment i can understand what you mean. I just want to know if there is a best course of action for me at this point so if you've been through this and have some advice on what did and didn't help that would be great.

I have lower back issues also, and when i first injured my lower back years ago, I immeadiatley laid myself up and diddent do anything for months.....that seemed to help t he initial damage....Now i still have issues after squat days etc. I just work through it, and have my wife give me endless lower back massages....
