Thread: Pain from lower back after deadlifts

The pain is on my right side, above my glutes. I would be on the very opposite side of the side of my belly button. (So, not RIGHT above the glutes)

Anyway, my question is, you guys think I can still work out other muscles? Like chest, arms, shoulders? I figured squatting may agitate it if form isnt perfect.

Its not an unbearable pain, just when I bend over to tie my shoes, for example, rounding the back.

What kinda pain?? Sharp pain?? Burning sensation?? Do me a favor and pick something maybe 5 or 10lbs and hold it straight out in front of you for a minute and tell me what that feels like...I too have hurt my back and if it's the same thing, then a couple visits to the chiro will fix u right up...

Seriously doubt it...that's some serious shit...he wouldn't be posting about it online asking questions....he'd be at the doctors office yesterday..

many people have herniated discs and don't even realize it, depends on the size and location of the herniation, if you still have pain after 7 days that is not a good sign. you should have been icing it the first few days and completely resting the past 7, and taking an anti-inflammatory, if you have been doing all of that and still have the pain I would wait a few more days, if it persists I would consider seeing a doc about it. trust me back injuries are nothing to mess around with.

it might just be back pain from the deadlifts.. my back is tight a couple days after dl's. And the tightness is there between sets, but i work through it, there is nothig wrong, it is just tight muscles from never doing DL's before.

but if it is a pain that feel like there is something wrong, then get it checked out..
