Sciatic nerve pinched

[tysonfreed33]

I pinched a nerve in my back lifting and its super painful. Does anyone have any recommendations to help alleviate this issue ???

go to a chiropractor! lol jk

the only way this will resolve itself is when the inflammation dies down. right now it is inflamed where it is pushing into the nerve, and i guarantee it is a red flag that you have a lot of disc deterioration. so avoid weight training for a bit, i would suggest going and doing some hot yoga which will help decompress the spine

Therapy, rehab and rest

Rest.... Back injuries usually go away after a while with rest unless you really screwed something up.

Are you sure that's a good idea. I am not well educated about hot yoga but doing all kinds of stretches doesn't sound very safe idea if you have tweaked back.

Rest up. If it doesn't heal pr go away is when you want to have it looked at

Rest is the most important thing.
